How GRID EATER uses it

GRID EATER treats Typesense as a disposable public search/read projection, not canonical authority. Canonical data is projected into Typesense for fast visitor search, and Hetzner hosts the search service in current architecture.

Why this architecture mattersSearch engines are optimised for relevance and low-latency reads; canonical databases are optimised for durable truth.
