09/28/2021, 5:53 PM👋 Hi everyone! I have been tasked with moving a search feature from Algolia to Typesense so that we are not constrained by the record count. The goal is to build a SDS search feature which finds SDS indexed documents which will point to downloadable SDS pdfs from an S3 bucket

09/28/2021, 5:56 PMI have a pipeline setup with lambda and s3 to allow members of my team to upload a JSON file of data which will be processed to create index object to store in, currently algolia and soon to be Typesense.

09/28/2021, 5:57 PMThe best part about moving to Typesense is the frontend switch is extremely easy! I just wanted to say thanks for the great experience in the migration.

09/28/2021, 6:54 PMHey @Sean Campbell! Welcome!
Your use-case sounds incredible! End-users upload a JSON file and get a searchable interface essentially?
Jason Bosco
09/28/2021, 6:54 PMBtw, what does SDS stand for?

09/28/2021, 6:59 PMI find it super motivating to hear Typesense being used in use-cases and scenarios I didn't even know existed! So thank you for sharing!

Sean Campbell
09/28/2021, 7:01 PMOnly complaint is the Typescript support.

Jason Bosco
09/28/2021, 7:01 PMAh yes, we had a contributor take a stab at converting the code base to Typesecript in this PR: https://github.com/typesense/typesense-js/pull/62

09/28/2021, 7:02 PMBut it's not complete yet...

Sean Campbell
09/28/2021, 7:03 PMOh. Do you know what is missing?
j
Jason Bosco
09/28/2021, 7:04 PMI think at this point, it might have gotten a little stale with a few new features we added since May. So it might be an effort in merging master branch into that branch, resolving conflicts and then adding types for the remaining new methods

Sean Campbell
09/28/2021, 7:06 PMAlright. I may take a look. Thanks again. And talk to you Thursday Jason!
