My experience with indexing is similar. Up to lets say 1M docs it works fine, but after that it goes south. Even with auto-batch I had to manually prepare large bulk updates and wait for completion during inserts to not overload MS. (I am using Rust client).

Other than that, it is simply great. Ranking stuff is great, simple, I only need custom weights there, some additional functions (not just asc/desc) and it would be perfect.

I had the same experience.

Pro: Meilisearch search speed and memory use was great compared to others (at the cost of large storage requirements but that's the cheapest thing to upgrade).

Con: Indexing documents (even with recommended batch sizes) was extremely intensive on the system as the document count increased (upwards of 20 million docs to index).

I had to modify the indexing script to completely pause indexing when system load average went too high to prevent the whole server crashing.

Also, this 1.0 upgrade apparently requires a full export and import of data if you're upgrading from the previous release? I hope this isn't the case for >= v1.0 releases because I'm not looking forward to exporting/reimporting 200+GB of Meilisearch data files over and over again.
