Episode notes

This chapter examines the complexities of managing large open-source databases, particularly in addressing edge cases within vast data sets. It highlights the evolving use cases for Meilisearch, its recognition in the tech community, and the importance of local control over cloud services for user satisfaction. The discussion also emphasizes building relationships in the open source community through supportive engagement and continuous product improvement.

@kerollmops, the technical brain behind the open-source search engine Meilisearch, joins me for a nerdy chat about all things search.

I’ve been using this blazing fast tech for my own business, podscan, and kero has helped me through a few challenges over the last few weeks. I really want to dive into the economics of building a business on top of an open-source piece of software.

Let's chat about self-hosted search engines today!
