Discussion on: Getting Started with Elasticsearch and Ruby

[Quentin de Quelen]

Hi Molly! Thanks for this article. I would like to know what made you decide to switch from Algolia to Elastic? Is that the price? Or just because you love Elastic in general?

[Molly Struve (she/her)]

• Price
• More control over creating indexes and queries
• Elasticsearch is open-source which makes it accessible to everyone and contributes to our efforts in making the DEV platform completely open-source

Cool! As expected. I was wondering because I'm kind of in the business.

I'm working on an Algolia open-source alternative. It's free, self-hosted and built-in user-facing search. I'm putting the link here just in case. github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch

Interesting! A FTS engine in Rust! Starred :)
