It's not easy to collect only basic CPU and RAM metrics from 50 machines and not exceed 200 GB of that data in 1 month.

What they don't tell, it's just a product built on top of open source project - Apache Lucene

Could be a replacement for Algolia.

Totally local search engine

Software May fit on Pi For...
Kiwix Specifically designed for offline browsing of ZIM files Wikipedia and Stack Overflow (pre-packaged zim archives).
