Lightweight, portable and secure Wasm runtimes and their use cases.
In theory, if we ran lower level code, we would be using less resources. That's more than a theory. Go to this video where I demonstrate Pagefind, written in Rust and compiled to Wasm as target, as a static app that ingests and indexes HTML documents and runs super efficient search queries, all client-side.

How to Start Your Blog in 2023
I use Astro SSG and Cloudflare Pages. I use https://github.com/cloudcannon/pagefind for search on my Astro setup. You can test the search functionality here https://tinyrocket.pages.dev/.
From its repo: "Pagefind runs after any static site generator and automatically indexes the built static files. Pagefind then outputs a static search bundle to your website, and exposes a JavaScript search API that can be used anywhere on your site."
Pagefind is cool!

FlowDiver: The Road to SSR - Part 1
Disregarding props-drilling technique in favor of a more reliable and elegant solution we looked for inspiration elsewhere. Another project of ours .find was using Typesense/Algolia components, which looked a bit like black-box/magic, but at the same time provided a clean approach to build complex and highly customizable solutions.

Website Search Hurts My Feelings
There are actually plenty of non-ES products that are way easier to integrate and tune (and get better results with less effort).
- Typesense (https://github.com/typesense/typesense)
- Algolia
- Google Programmable Search Engine (https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/about/)
- Remote Machine Learning and Searching on a Raspberry Pi 5

If you like your penny take a look at Typesense https://typesense.org/ - nothing to complain here. Especially nothing complain about pricing.

Vector databases: analyzing the trade-offs
I work on Typesense [1] (historically considered an open source alternative to Algolia).
We then launched vector search in Jan 2023, and just last week we launched the ability to generate embeddings from within Typesense.
You'd just need to send JSON data, and Typesense can generate embeddings for your data using OpenAI, PaLM API, or built-in models like S-BERT, E-5, etc (running on a GPU if you prefer) [2]
You can then do a hybrid (keyword + semantic) search by just sending the search keywords to Typesense, and Typesense will automatically generate embeddings for you internally and return a ranked list of keyword results weaved with semantic results (using Rank Fusion).
You can also combine filtering, faceting, typo tolerance, etc - the things Typesense already had.

Obsidian Publish full text search
I haven’t used Publish, but I’d assume you could use something like https://typesense.org/ to index and search the vault.

DynamoDB search options
A cheaper option would be to use https://typesense.org. You can use DynamoDb streams to automatically load records. It has worked well for me.
