It's definitely sub-second, but it's not quite as lightning quick as the other one.

But what we gained was reliability and capability.
podcast-host
Because MindySearch started to struggle with ingestion of data because it was just getting so big.
podcast-host
And I was working with the team to try and get it to scale better, but we were outscaling the efforts of them building better scale into the tool.
podcast-host
It is an open source product, right?
podcast-host
What can I expect?
podcast-host
But OpenSearch is such a well-tested and well-established system.
podcast-host
It can handle a lot of data really well.
podcast-host
And because it has the Elasticsearch Query DSL.
podcast-host
The domain-specific language for expressing these search queries of any complexity, it's highly configurable.
podcast-host
We can get exactly the right results in exactly the right order for any possible request.
podcast-host
So yeah, that's where we went.
podcast-host

podcast-host

podcast-host

podcast-host

podcast-host
Must have been like, yeah, 2015, 2016, I experimented with that stuff.
podcast-host
It was horrible.
podcast-host
It always freaked me out.
podcast-host
It was such a complex and hard-to-compose way of creating a database.
