Boston.rb talk on Thinking Sphinx

Posted on March 11th, 2009

Last night I did a talk on Thinking Sphinx at Boston.rb.

The slides are below.

Evan’s blog post with the benchmarks can be found here. There are links to other benchmarks and details.

The process library I alluded to is called God.

Sphinx helps me a lot as it makes indexing faster for my site as it runs in active development.. its all cool, I highly recommend this to others out there

Dan, I'm sorry I missed your talk. It would be great if you could write a blog entry (or entries) covering some of the tips you gave at your talk, not just for me but for 100s of Rubyists out there who I'm sure will appreciate it!

It was good to meet and talk shop with you at Betahouse the day of your talk.

Hey Dan - the slides are available in the post - did it not come up in your feed reader - starting on Slide 18 there's a few slides that talk about some of the gotchas/tips.

Hope that helps.

Yes, I looked at the slides and they were great. I'm just saying that
blog posts are a lot more useful. But I'm grateful for the slides, so
I'm not complaining. :)

oh ok I hear you (just wanted to make sure the embedded slides were working well). Ok, I'll see if I can whip something up this weekend.

Good meeting you, too!

Dan, thank you for this talk and for posting the slides! I've used Ferret in the past, and TS looks a lot better (I have to say, I enjoyed Ferret for the most part, but never really used it on large datasets)
