Very impressive work so far!

Apologies if I missed it (and solely out of curiosity), but how roughly much does hosting Alexandria Search cost (per month)? (I'm assuming you've optimized for cost to avoid spending your own money!)

I have some other questions (around crawlers, parsing, and dependencies), but I need to read the other comments first (to see if my questions have already been answered).

Thanks!

The active index is running on 4 servers and we have one server for hosting the frontend and the api (the API is what is used by the frontend, ex: https://api.alexandria.org/?q=hacker%20news)

Then we have one fileserver storing raw data to be indexed. The cost for those 6 servers are around 520 USD per month.
