Overview
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and setup support.
WHAT IS TYPESENSE
Typesense is a fast, typo-tolerant open-source search engine written in C++ - a single-binary alternative to Algolia and a more developer-friendly alternative to Elasticsearch for the search-as-a-feature use case. It serves a REST API over indexed documents with sub-50ms query latency, supports typo correction, faceting, filtering, geo search, vector search (HNSW) and federated multi-collection queries. Operators get an instant-search JavaScript client, dashboard UI and import tooling for JSON/JSONL/CSV. Documents and search indexes are persisted to RocksDB on the local filesystem with snapshotting and follower replication for HA setups. GPL-3.0 license - drop-in for any application that today calls Algolia or Elasticsearch, with no per-query fees and no vendor lock-in.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Version release notes
Typesense v30.2
- Fix: scheduled log rotation no longer stops the Typesense service. Rotation previously signalled the server in a way Typesense treats as a shutdown request, so search could stop overnight and stay stopped. Log files are now rotated in place and the server is not signalled.
- The service unit now restarts on any unexpected exit, not only on a non-zero exit code.
- Typesense 30.2 itself is unchanged. Rebuilt on the current CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base for the latest Ubuntu security updates.
Additional details
Usage instructions
- Launch instance (t3.medium recommended)
- Open Security Group - allow TCP 8108 from your IP only
- SSH: ssh -i key.pem ubuntu@<PUBLIC_IP>
- Read credentials: sudo cat /root/typesense-credentials.txt
- Test the API: curl -H "X-TYPESENSE-API-KEY: <api_key>" http://<PUBLIC_IP>:8108/health
Credentials and the API key are saved to /root/typesense-credentials.txt at first boot. For production use, restrict port 8108 to trusted IPs only (never 0.0.0.0/0).
