Search for Attractions in Singapore, powered by Elasticsearch

👷🏻‍♀️ Why did I build this?

What better way to understand concepts than to implement it in a project! Elasticsearch is specifically designed for high-speed, real-time search and retrieval of large amounts of data. In order to gain the ability to build robust search functionality into any future work, I decided to embark on a simple project that puts what I've learnt to practice.

Also, as a Singaporean there are places in Singapore that are still undiscovered by me, so this was a really interesting project to work on!
