What is the best storage backends combo?

[casualmatt]

Hi to all,

From what I could read in Discord and on the docs, there is not a recommended setup except for RocksDB in single-node install and FoundationDB in multi-node install.

What do you think is the best combo for a scalable solution?

This could be an example; this is what comes to my mind.

Data	backend
Data store	FoundationDB
Blob store	Longhorn NFS / minio
Full-text store	ElasticSearch
Lookup store	Redis

That combo looks fine. You just need to compare performance of using a MinIO/Longhorn vs FoundationDB.as a Blob store as it might be faster to use also FoundationDB as a blob store as well.

What about ElasticSearch and Redis for their respective categories? Are they better than FoundationDB based on your testing?

Yes, depending on the load you might need Redis cluster. And ElasticSearch is also a good option but as far as I know it doesn't automatically detect the email language and use the correct text analyser.
