What Hacker News says
18 sourcesInterestingly, I think that almost all of the downsides listed in the article and in the comments go away if you use a good framework for creating microservices (example for this: [0]):
No internal glue code, no overhead by writing network interfaces, no slow HTTP calls (faster gRPC instead), no manual handling of asynchronous tasks.

In Microservices – Please, Don’t (2016)What kinda thing do you want to search? Text I guess? But there are search engines for images, gifs, video, all kinds of stuff.
I'm working at an open-source project that builds an AI-powered search framework [0], and I've built some examples in very few lines of code (for searching fashion products via image or text [1], PDF text/images/tables search [2]) and one of our community members built a protein search engine [3].
A good place to start might be with a no-code solution like (shameless self-plug time) Jina NOW [4], which lets you build a search engine and GUI with just one CLI command.

In Ask HN: I want to dive into how to make search enginesWe're using Transformers with `sentence-transformers/paraphrase-distilroberta-base-v1` model.
The framework is Jina (https://github.com/jina-ai/jina/) so it's pretty high-level. You can see the indexing/search Flow on lines 37-52 of https://github.com/alexcg1/jina-meme-search-example/blob/mai...
In Show HN: AI powered meme search, open-sourceAsk HN: Got zoombombed in open-source contributor meeting, how to deal with it
I am a contributor to Open-Source software(Jina - an AI search framework) and I am annoyed with how some people make fun of the sheer hard work of open-source developers.
For the last 1 yr, we had made our contributors team meetings public(everyone could listen and participate during the meeting). And this is what happened in our last meeting - While we were sharing news about upcoming Jina 2.0 release in the zoom meeting, some loud racist music starts playing automatically and someone starts drawing a dck on the screen.
It was demotivating to say the least.
Building open-source project is challenging at multiple fronts other than the core technical challenges
- Understand what needs to be built
- Improve that continuously
- Help people understand the project
- Educate people about the domain
- Reach out people who might benefit from your

project
- Collaborate with other contributors
- Deal with issues/PRs
- Deal with outdated versions/docs
- Deal with different opinions
- Sometimes deal with jerks like the ones who zoombombed us
The list is long! Open-source is hard!
Open-source exists because of some good people out there like you/me who care about the open-source so deeply to invest their time and energy for a little good for everyone else. It exists because of communities like Hackernews where we can find the support and the motivation.
I wanted to vent out my negative experiences and wanted to say a big *Thank you* to you all open-source people, thanks to many(1.6k) contributors who made it possible for us to release [Jina 2.0](https://github.com/jina-ai/jina/) .
I'd want to know your opinion, how do you deal with such unexpected events and how do you keep yourself motivated as an open-source developer?
