Show HN: Introducting Qbox.io - Hosted ElasticSearch with Free Dev Tier

Just to show this can work, we put together a demo called "Million Person Search". This is, as you may have guessed, a table search with a million records to demonstrate how fast ElasticSearch is when it is powered by SSD's. There is a link to Github to document it. http://qbox.io/demos

Per se the product looks interesting, but having all these new accounts praise it, looks a bit odd.

We tweeted the link, herrherr... we have friends and backers, too.

If the product looks interesting, you should try the dev tier... there is no credit card required.

Sorry, looks like astroturfing comments from my end.

Thanks for teaching me a new term, I've not heard of astroturfing before.

Not sure how this will be applicable to any of my projects right now, but I've got to admit the demo's work impressively.

herrherr, don't worry they're legit. I know the founders,and they build great tech. I'm very excited to see their new product in the wild.

These guys make ElasticSearch painless to deploy in your existing environment. Definitely nice when trying to focus on other infrastructure improvements.

I'm not sure a Free Dev Tier of 10megs is gonna do much. Plus the astroturfing mentionned earlier is a big put off.

How do you guys handle ES authentication? It isn't really clear from the curl snippets posted on the homepage.

Personally connected with this team. They are talented and motivated to serve the search community!

Looks great but when I click 'Get started now' on the homepage, registration isn't over SSL.

Just the name and email link isn't over SSL... Once you confirm your account, then you will definitely be in https when you create an index.

Thank you for the comment, though... that's the type of feedback we need.

This team knows what they're doing, very excited to see them evolve!
