405: Elasticsearch → Postgres Search
Manage episode 501255137 series 181913
Alex & Chris get into a fairly recent technological change at CodePen where we ditched our Elasticsearch implementation for just using our own Postgres database for search. Sometimes choices like this are more about team expertise, dev environment practicalities, and complexity tradeoffs. We found this change to be much better for us, which matters! For the most part search is better and faster. Postgres is not nearly as fancy and capable as Elasticsearch, but we werent taking advantage of what Elasticsearch had to offer anyway.
For the power users out there: it's true that we've lost the ability to do in-code search for now. But it's temporary and will be coming back in time.
