Wow, @henna.s thank you so much for delivering in a timely fashion.
Here are my readings regarding Algolia:
Algolia “update a single object” using raw REST HTTP:
301ms
302ms
300ms
278ms
273ms
296ms
297ms
Algolia “update a single object” using official NodeJS client “algoliasearch”:
299ms
278ms
281ms
299ms
294ms
291ms
277ms
302ms
298ms
299ms
So simply put, you guys nailed it.
Thank you very much for the attention and the solution.
(can’t say about the Stripe yet, but I must tackle that this week, so, also extra happy to rely on MongoDB)
