A follow up on this. On Tuesday we replaced Meilisearch Cloud with a $6 DigitalOcean droplet running Meilisearch set up by @wafer.baby. I wanted to start with the smallest instance and scale up based on performance. So far we’ve not had to scale up! $300/month → $6/month Pretty good saving! 😄

The Ishtar Collective’s search bill was $300 this month. That’s like 6 times the cost of all of the other services. 🤯 I think we’ll be moving away from @meilisearch.com’s hosted offering very soon. @wafer.baby is looking at running it ourselves on DigitalOcean.
