The modern data stack is fragmented and ill-suited for real-time data
“The modern data stack is incredibly fragmented and is not well suited for real time Use cases when you want to work with fresh data and you want to do it at scale.”
Developers building search should consider Algolia over Elasticsearch
“So, to build search, you don't necessarily need elastic search. You maybe need Algolia. If that's what you're looking for, and you're focusing on building great search, you don't have to build everything around what you need in order to operate a complete sear…”

“To deploy applications, you might not need EC two. You might need Vercel. If you want to develop faster, if you want to remove handoffs from the process and you want to get to the market faster that's probably a better option.”
