👋 Hi everyone! Firstofall typesense is pretty amazing!I did a POC, it worked remarkably well! I just wanted to know if you have anythoughts on this usecase, where we have around 500 FAQ's, we index these collection of FAQ's and information, since docs are stored on the typesense server, if someone changes anything in the FAQ, there is a need on data constantly getting updated in typesense server. Could you point me on handling these cases where a datastore would possibly be frequently getting updated and search should act on the updated data always

Hi Sangeetha! When someone edits an FAQ, you want to have some listener / webhook watching for these changes, and then do the corresponding update in Typesense.

In addition (or if the above is not possible), you want to regularly poll the FAQ data store, and then bulk upsert the data into Typesense, which is pretty fast.
