RethinkDB change feeds for indexing Algolia is a tool that syncs data from RethinkDB databases to Algolia search indexes using RethinkDB's change feed feature.

The tool bridges these two platforms, eliminating the need for manual index updates or custom synchronization logic.

    Swirl Is an Open-Source Search engine alternative to Algolia, and the likes. But Swirl queries anything with an API then uses Large Language Models to re-rank the unified results without copying any data! If the database has an API it can connect to and provide search functionality. You can use it to generate AI insights over a large and spread-out database.
