Amplify Aloglia Search
I built a custom directive to enable searching with Algolia:

It has been a pleasure building MVPs with Amplify but I was annoyed at the monthly cost of Elasticsearch and wanted a search that fits the Serverless "pay per use" model -- enter Algolia. It has a decent free monthly quota so you can make a low cost MVP or small app. It also has a really simple management interface and solid client libraries and UI widgets.
This sounds really awesome! I am annoyed by the costs well and will definitely check that out. Do you have any examples on the costs of Algolia?
For pricing you can checkout Algolia's calculator https://www.algolia.com/pricing/#calculator
You get 10k searches for free so it's a decent free tier.
Cool yep. I'll definitely try that out and your plugin as well :)
