I've started naming my servers digiocean1.example.com, digiocean2.example.com and so on. I wish I'd done this much earlier. I already have domain names for the actual deployed services, but it quickly gets confusing when you start moving things around.

I've been working on a search tool for a website with 9K items and a dumb implementation works just fine. I'd normally gravitate to a library or tool like elasticsearch (ES). Adding custom filters etc is trivial on handrolled code. I wonder what scale requires actual search infra like ES.
