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.
WHAT THIS AMI ADDS
Security hardening:
- Unique API key generated per instance at first boot
- UFW firewall - port 8108 open only; SSH on 22
- fail2ban, AppArmor
OS hardening (CIS Level 1):
- CIS Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Level 1 benchmark applied via ansible-lockdown
- auditd, SSH hardening, Kernel hardening, IMDSv2 enforced
Compliance artifacts:
- SBOM - CycloneDX 1.6 at /etc/lynxroute/sbom.json
- CIS Conformance Report at /etc/lynxroute/cis-report.html
- CIS Tailored Profile at /usr/share/doc/lynxroute/CIS_TAILORED_PROFILE.md
Highlights
- Typesense security baked in: unique API key per instance, UFW firewall pre-configured.
- CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: auditd, fail2ban, AppArmor, SSH key-only, IMDSv2 enforced. CVE-scanned before every release. SBOM (CycloneDX) and CIS Conformance Report included.
- Self-hosted Algolia alternative: typo tolerance, faceted search, vector search - no per-query pricing.

Dimension | Cost/hour |

m6i.xlarge | $0.05 |
t3.large | $0.05 |
Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on which EC2 instance size you run. Four instance options are offered: t3.medium, t3.large, m6i.large, and m6i.xlarge. The t3 instances are burstable general-purpose types, while the m6i instances are fixed-performance general-purpose types. Pricing scales with the compute capacity of the instance you choose, so larger instances cost more per hour. There is no upfront commitment. You select one instance size per deployment and billing stops when you terminate the instance.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The t3 instances are burstable types that run at a baseline level and use credits for short bursts. The m6i instances deliver steady, fixed performance. Burstable types suit uneven search traffic; fixed-performance types suit continuous query loads. You pick one per deployment, and the hourly rate scales with the instance's compute capacity.
You pay the software charge only while the instance runs. Stopping or terminating the instance stops those hourly charges. A stopped instance may still accrue underlying AWS storage fees for its attached volume. Billing for the software stops when you terminate the instance.
Each image ships on a hardened Ubuntu 24.04 base with CIS Level 1 OS hardening, SSH and kernel hardening, firewall, and intrusion-prevention tools pre-configured. A software bill of materials and a conformance report are bundled inside. Unique credentials are generated at first boot. These are included at no separate charge per hour.

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.

- 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).
