now VS sonic

💡In this post we’re just building out a backend, and not touching on a frontend. To build your own low-code backend+frontend neural search solution, check out Jina NOW.

Check out Jina NOW for an end-to-end text-to-image search

And here's the open-source code for developer friends here in the community - https://github.com/jina-ai/now

Sonic - a project written in Rust, uses custom network communication protocol for fast communication between the client and the server.

This is uncanny, I just discovered ArchiveBox earlier today and set up a self-hosted instance on some home hardware for a collection of bookmarks of useful guides, tutorials, and references I've collected over the years.

Setting it up on K8s with sonic [1] as the search backend and importing a few hundred URLs only took ~an hour or so, and the cached pages look great for the most part.

If you don't need advanced search features, you can use Sonic (https://github.com/valeriansaliou/sonic). It's blazing fast and you can save lot of money on servers.

What about Sonic? Maybe it requires a bit of integration, but it's simple and blazing fast.
