But one of them is that they are a tricky choice. It is not a database technology, so not a developer choice but also their technology is only useful to developers.&lt;p&gt;As a result they have to try to sell their product when you need a search but no developers are working on it. That&amp;#x27;s how you end up powering external and internal documentation portals. That&amp;#x27;s really a waste of resource</text></comment>

I&amp;#x27;ve been impressed with Algolia on Hacker News...&lt;p&gt;Is anyone else using them? What are your impressions so far?&lt;p&gt;Much appreciated</text></comment>
