Why not just use a open source solution like paradedb ... .

Paradedb = postgres pg_search plugin (the base is tantivy). Need anything else like vectors or whatever, get the plugins for postgres.

The only thing your missing is a LSM solution like RocksDB. See Orioledb what is supposed to become a plugin storage engine for postgres but not yet out of beta.

Feels like people reinvent the wheel very often.

What was your experience like putting such thing together?
