Quickstart for Typesense

Typesense is a modern, privacy-friendly, open source search engine built from the ground up, using cutting-edge search algorithms that take advantage of the latest advances in hardware capabilities. It's typo-tolerant and optimized for instant sub-50ms searches, while providing an intuitive developer experience. The aim of the Typesense team is to reduce the time-to-market for developers to build a blazing-fast search experience that provides relevant results out-of-the-box, without breaking the bank and without operational overhead.

Deploy Typesense on Elestio

1. Open the Typesense deployment page and sign in, or create an account.
2. Choose a cloud provider, a region and a data center. Pick the region closest to your users for the lowest latency.
3. Choose an instance size. Elestio only lists the sizes that can run Typesense properly (at least 1 vCPU and -1 GB of RAM).
4. Choose your support plan and the maintenance window for system and software updates (times are in UTC).
5. Click Create Service. Typesense is deployed and ready in a few minutes, and you receive an email with the access details.

The full walkthrough with screenshots is in the installation guide.

Access Typesense

Open your service in the Elestio dashboard and go to the Overview tab. Click Display Admin UI to reveal the URL, username and password of your Typesense instance.

If the password field is blank, Typesense does not ship with a pre-created admin user: open the admin URL to start its setup. Software without a web interface, such as databases, is reached with the credentials and port listed in the same tab. See Admin UI and credentials.
