Typesense
A fast, typo-tolerant open-source search engine positioned as a simpler alternative to Elasticsearch/Algolia. Standout trait is built-in Raft-based clustering with no external coordination service required.

⚙ Full Stack
C++ search engine with an embedded Raft consensus implementation for clustering, scoped API-key authentication, and a simple HTTP/JSON API; data is memory-mapped and persisted to disk with periodic snapshots.
📈 Scaling Analysis
Scales horizontally out of the box via its built-in Raft clustering — no external Zookeeper/etcd needed — and read throughput scales by adding nodes. Very large multi-TB corpora are the practical ceiling versus systems like Elasticsearch with fully sharded storage.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
Deploy as a pod-per-node cluster (typically 3 nodes for quorum), each addressed via <podName>.pod:<port> for Raft peer communication; a persistent volume per pod is required for data durability across restarts.
