Capturing Search Data with Typesense Cluster

TLDR Vivek plans to create a Typesense cluster for capturing search data, and asks for opinions. Both Jason and TJ agree it's a suitable approach.

Hey, I'm planning to capture search data that is made on my site in this sort of record (searchTerm, frequency and type). I'm thinking of creating another cluster on typesense and creating a new document whenever a search is made for a new term. I can expect maybe 20K - 30K new documents created each day.
I think this would be faster than using Redis or some other DB. Am I on the correct route or would you recommend against it?

Doesn't the doc suggest that this type of thing should be done on the client?
