Intelligent Search in Rails with Typesense (avohq.io)
adenta 1 days ago [-]
I love Jason Bosco (the typesense guy). I love Ruby on Rails. But I've been using Meilisearch more and more over the past year on client projects. They maintain a top of the line Rails integration: https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch-rails

MeiliSearch is the top thing to try on my list - did you use it in production environments? If so, how did the deployment go? And how is your experience about the minimum requirements for a stable search server?

I would be very interested in a short user review...

Glad to see the Avo project live and well!

I previously used Opensearch for my Rails project, it was quite heavy piece of service to run in the docker compose environment. I said to my myself that on the next project, I will eitber use Typesense or Meilisearch. I'll bookmark this guide for when the time comes

Regarding the command to create the Rails app, I would have done this for the playground project

rails new typesense -d sqlite3 -c tailwind -j esbuild --skip-test --skip-jbuilder --skip-action-mailbox --skip-action-text

I think I have a .railsrc file similar to your settings

Are you a fellow Avo user yourself?

No, I haven't had the opportunity yet but it is on my list. But I am a subscriber of your Youtube channel and have been receiving updates through there

I’m going to give Typesense a try today. I’m just working on a Rails app and went from Meilisearch (which is great) to Elastic for some more complex aggregation queries but this seems like a good option for instant search like behavior too.

yup. You should! The founder is also a great guy who cares about the Open Source community as well

I’m debating Typesense vs. Meilisearch for a project. My use case isn’t particularly complex so either fits.

Curious if anyone has any horror stories about either

What’s wrong with just pushing Postgres as far as possible (you said it wasn’t complex)?

  yet again I reached for a dependency when Postgres is enough
