Yeah, I'm glad they are making a trillion a month now in profits. God forbid you make a reasonable profit and employ people. I can't wait to get rid of the on-prem stuff at work so I can never use their crap ever again.

Hey u/MusicalAutist, saw your post about Confluence — sounds frustrating.

Reading this blog post scared me a bit. The use case I proposed was building a "simple" RAG chatbot for some (~50 confluence docs and somewhat growing) on elasticsearch and another process that my team handles. I was just planning on using a stack like streamlit, text-embedding-3-small,FAISS for the vector store and it to be driven by a python script.Didn't seem too expensive or too hard based on the handful of queries my team would be using it for, and it was a "low hangi
