Search functionality is essential in modern applications like Coupang, Baemin, and Yanolja, where users search for various items. However, developing search functionality is not straightforward. Especially when users expect Google-level search quality, the technical requirements become complex. There are two primary approaches to developing search functionality: using database query capabilities and using a separate search engine. Database query capabilities are suitable for simple searches, but they have limitations for complex search requirements. On the other hand, using a search engine can provide high-quality search functionality but increases development complexity and maintenance challenges. Therefore, early-stage services need to consider how to effectively implement high-quality search functionality.

We know that terms like big data, data lakes, and web-scale are fancy and attractive, but those are only everyday issues for very few of us. Most companies will never deal with the petabytes scale of the data. Let's be practical and stay on the ground. Most companies just need a simple but powerful database system to solve real problems. We are here to build a product for most companies, not just for unicorns. Our mission is to solve the common problems often associated with existing database systems and simplify software development by keeping your software stacks as simple as possible.
