05/19/2021, 4:28 AMIt would totally depend on the type of queries and the size of the data that’s retrieved with every search

05/19/2021, 4:29 AMIn the next version, we will be introducing some basic caching support that will pretty much greatly increase performance if your dataset does not change too often or you are okay in serving slightly stale results (e..g 60 seconds lag).

05/19/2021, 4:30 AMi’m just trying to understand how many users it can support — any idea on how to go about the benchmark? @Jason Bosco

05/19/2021, 4:32 AMYou essentially want to change this line to the queries your application does: https://github.com/typesense/showcase-songs-search/blob/e6aeb0bc744e2623bc28ec2a45760da0774f3065/scripts/benchmarking/index.js#L69
