Been reading a lot about this hate from the other side perspective's - I've burned out in my first experience as tech manager. There are good materials on Will Larson's blog (and books) and substacks like this: https://gleicon.substack.com/p/the-burden-of-tech-managers. It was all on me for over extending on control and not using my previous experience as leverage to have the team on my side...

my dude really got angry but forgot almost all cloud message queue offerings over HTTP works like this (minus SSE). Eventually MCP will take the same route as WS which started clunky with the http upgrade thing being standard but not often used and evolved. Then it will migrate to any other way of doing remote interface, as GRPC, REST and so on.

The hundreds of features things like Solr and Elasticsearch/Opensearch have. These are complex products but mostly this is a form of necessary complexity.

To be blunt, the intersection of people that know what they are doing on this front and people that choose to use Postgres for this is pretty narrow. It does happen and I've seen a few nice things built with Postgres. But mostly it's just people using the wrong tool for the job.

I used to have this same argument but apart from the few that I've used on solr, it is not trivial to have general search using it. Won't even comment on ES b/c they already target analytics better than search. I think it is worth exploring pg and other tools as all search cases are narrow/specific (ecomm, graphs, domain-specific documents etc), specially if you need facets and filtering. Also multilanguage ok to consider for a tool but products usually look for better recall at their original lang then to have same results in other languages.

SQLite ver:

1. Full-text search with FTS5

2. Semantic search with sqlite-vec

3. Fuzzy matching with FTS5 trigram tokenizer

4. Bonus: FTS5 bm25() function

I'd like to see that ! been fiddling with sqlite and fts5 to drop algolia from my application.

This post is great as the current state of network mesh is too complex for some users. That led me to write a simple rust daemon to run a TLS proxy and spawn the original app locally, reverse proxying requests as the cost of implementing a full mesh just to have tls across applications was too much for my team at the time. I didn't knew about ONRUN, s6 and all that. Also, why not tailscale as the mesh ?
