   The best cloud platform out there

   You could say a lot of things about AWS, but among the cloud platforms (and I've used quite a few) AWS takes the cake. It is logically structured, you can get through its documentation relatively easily, you have a great variety of tools and services to choose from [from AWS itself and from third-party developers in their marketplace]. There is a learning curve, there is quite a lot of it, but it is still way easier than some other platforms. I've used and abused AWS and EC2 specifically and for me it is the best.

   👍 Pros:    Great documentation|Website structure visualization|You have control over everything|Flexibility

   👎 Cons:    Learning curve|A lot of dashboards for different things

• Code Search Is Hard

  If you're serious about scaling up, definitely consider Vespa (https://vespa.ai). At serious scale, Vespa will likely knock all the other options out of the park. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Are we at peak vector database?

  I think https://vespa.ai/ has the right approach in this space by focusing on being hybrid - vectors alone aren't great for production use cases, it's the combining of vectors+text that lets you use ranking to get meaningful result. (I'm an investor so I'm biased; but it's also the reason why I invested). - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Show HN: RAGatouille, a simple lib to use&train top retrieval models in RAG apps

  So what’s the catch? Why is this not everywhere? Because IR is not quite NLP — it hasn’t gone fully mainstream, and a lot of the IR frameworks are, quite frankly, a bit of a pain to work with in-production. Some solid efforts to bridge the gap like Vespa [1] are gathering steam, but it’s not quite there. [1] https://vespa.ai. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Creating an advanced search engine with PostgreSQL

  When it comes to search I cannot disagree more. https://vespa.ai is a purpose built search engine. If you start bolting search onto your database, your relevance will be terrible, you'll be rewriting a lot of table stakes tools/features from scratch, and your technical debt will skyrocket. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
