Postgres has very limited features related to FTS, so it is useful only for very simple cases or for very limited budget. Elasticsearch is stable enough(but good devops and devs needed) and has numerous of features. Anyway Elasticsearch is not a "plug and play" solution and requires much work to be done for good search quality. Why I know this all? I'm running ecommerce search startup, based on Elasticsearch as primary storage.

You mixed two very different things: business and freelance. Some people just want to sell their hours and not do business.

The downside of Zoe is Renault. For its tech price should be much less.

That’s a good catch. I also wondered because there are vast amount of people want just personal vehicle to move from A to B.

In fact, monolithic solution is much faster to ship. And cheaper. And much easier to support.

What is considered as mass? 10, 100, 1000, 10K? Number matters.

New comment by glintik in "Ask HN: What are good books on SW architecture that don't sell microservices?"

glintik — Sat, 11 Nov 2023 21:03:05 +0000

Actually you should avoid splitting software into microservices by default until you really need it. It's easy to catch the moment - you will see that movement of some project part into microservice will help you to close many points and issues.

So: 1) Read classic books about monolith software. 2) Read decent books about microservices approach.

Nice hypothesis, but far away from the reality
