08/25/2021, 2:54 PMWhat is the recommended architecture for running typesense in production? Should we use postgres (or something similar) as primary datastore and sync the updates to typesense?

08/25/2021, 3:08 PMWhat about security hardening? In a use case where there are multiple collections, multiple users, user1 should only have access to user1 documents, user2 only user2 documents etc. I'm thinking reverse proxy with nginx + SSL + scoped keys. Is there anything else that's recommended?
