  • Storing OpenAI embeddings in Postgres with pgvector
    Disclaimer: I work on Typesense [1] (an open source alternative to Algolia + Pinecone) and we recently added Vector Search as a feature to Typesense [2]. Postgres can do a lot of things, but for large enough datasets and/or when you want to add filtering into the mix along with vector search, then it becomes slow. And at that point you want to use a dedicated vector search database. It's similar to how Postgres... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

  • A Journey in E-commerce Search
    Recently had a good experience with Typesense [0] for implementing ecommerce search. We solved the "blue shirts" problem by grouping a products color variants together using `group_by` and ranking by text match. The best "matching" shirts are then likely blue. This is a bit simplified, and not exactly the same case, but it worked surprisingly well. [0] https://typesense.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • FIRESTORE FULL TEXT SEARCH
    I used Typesense (typesense.org), it has a generous free trial, is super easy to set up and works super well. The client side SDK is super easy to use too, very similar to the Firebase SDK as far as ease-of-use goes. I'd definitely highly recommend it, my experience with it so far has been perfect.

  • I made an app that lets you search up (almost) anything Destiny has ever said in his streams

  • Where should I connect to a database that is not supported by Django?
    There is no particular one, I'm just exploring ideas, for the current project I will most likely use only PostgreSQL but I was thinking about using a search engine: typesense (I might still pull a trigger). Source: over 1 year ago

  • An alternative to Elasticsearch that runs on a few MBs of RAM
    True, but most deployments are also just generic searching of records like Algolia rather than using all the low-level functionality. Tyoesense is probably the most compete competitor in that regard: https://typesense.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • An alternative to Elasticsearch that runs on a few MBs of RAM
    I would like to suggest https://typesense.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Codeberg a GitHub Alternative from Europe
    Thank you for calling this out! It's great to see other products adopt this stance and this is one of the reasons we chose to not raise funds for Typesense [1]. From an article I wrote recently on this topic [2]: > Selling Stock vs Selling Search One key realization we had is that when we bring on investors, we are essentially bringing on a new group of customers - customers for whom the product is our company... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
