Jason Any plans to support dbt to typesense? Or, is there already a workflow for this? eg. https://guitton.co/posts/dbt-search

Purpose: taking any data in any datastore supported by dbt and indexing it in typesense.

That's an interesting use case! We have no plans to build an integration like this, mainly given maintenance overhead on our side and not being dbt experts ourselves. So this could be a great community maintained integration.

It seems like majority of the work is done in this repo: https://github.com/louisguitton/dbt-metadata-utils

You'd have to send the data on the backend to Typesense’s API instead of Algolia and on the frontend use the typesense-instantsearch-adapter
