TLDR: we didn't pick rust because we're a Java shop.

I originally thought it was a joke, but it's not.

Surprisingly, 3GB is a real practical RAM limit for aws lambdas in 2025: you can only have more than that if you submit a support ticket. But it's not really mentioned anywhere in the docs.

Building a search engine on top of Apache Lucene and S3 block storage. Think Elasticsearch done right: https://github.com/nixiesearch/nixiesearch

A Lucene-based search engine on top of S3 block storage.

Index schema is immutable (but supports migrations), so you cannot just screw up your index.

Separate indexer/searcher tiers, so heavy indexing load does not affect search latency.

And embedding/reranker local inference, so you can run the whole AI search within a single docker container.

Re:Efficient finetuning of Llama 3 with FSDP QDoRA on Tuesday April 23, 2024 @09:32AM (#40131774)
It would be great to see this approach as a part of PEFT library, so you don’t need to rely on custom code
Re:Show HN: Next-Gen AI Training: LLM-RLHF-Tuning with PPO and DPO on Monday March 18, 2024 @05:06PM (#39750019)
Looks like a wrapper on top of a couple of popular Huggingface libraries. All the heavy-lifting is done with TRL, Transformers and PEFT.
