ConfigCat is a hosted service for feature flag and configuration management. It lets you decouple feature releases from code deployments. Config Cat offers a beautiful easy to understand UI. It has complete a lot of features and more than just enabling and disabling flags. Configcat supplied us with the capability we required for both environment and user specific feature mapping. ConfigCat provides a Supervisor that must be attached to your applications supervision tree and an API for accessing your ConfigCat.
Typesense is an open-source, typo-tolerant search engine optimized for an instant (typically sub-50ms) search-like-up-type experience and developer productivity. If you've heard of Elasticsearch or Algolia, a good way to think about Typesense is that it's an open source alternative to Algolia, with some key issues fixed and an easy-to-use battery-powered alternative to Elasticsearch.It works like a CDN, but for Search. Deploy nodes around the world, closest to your users, to provide them an ultra-fast search experience.
