Can I vibe code Algolia?

Build a full-stack e-commerce search service replacing Algolia's core keyword search using Typesense and Node.js.

DATA MODEL & ARCHITECTURE:
- Spin up a Typesense server instance with API key authentication and multi-attribute search enabled.
- Database Schema (Postgres): Create `stores` (id, shopify_domain, access_token), `search_indices` (id, store_id, index_name, status), and `merchandising_rules` (id, store_id, query_term, boosted_product_ids, hidden_product_ids, pinned_positions).
- Typesense Collection Schema: Define `products` index with fields: `id` (string), `title` (string), `description` (string), `vendor` (string), `product_type` (string), `tags` (string array), `price` (float), `inventory_quantity` (int), `created_at` (int64 timestamp), and `in_stock` (bool).

CATALOG SYNC & ENGINE INTERACTION:
- Create a Shopify Webhook handler (`/webhooks/shopify/products`) listening to `products/create`, `products/update`, and `products/delete`.
- On create/update, map the Shopify payload into the Typesense collection schema and upsert via the Typesense REST API.
- Handle bulk re-indexing via a background queue (BullMQ/Redis) reading pages from the Shopify Admin GraphQL API.

SEARCH API & FRONTEND ENGINE:
- Expose a search proxy endpoint `/api/v1/search` accepting query params: `q`, `page`, `per_page`, `filters`, `sort_by`.
- Query Typesense using prefix search, typo tolerance (max 2 edits), and multi-search capabilities across `title` (weight 5), `tags` (weight 3), and `vendor` (weight 1).
- Apply `merchandising_rules`: If a request query matches a active rule, explicitly override the search order using Typesense `pinned_hits` and `filter_by` rules.
- Return response format: `{ hits: [...], total_hits: int, processing_time_ms: int, page: int, facets: {...} }`.

OUT OF SCOPE:
- AI NeuralSearch vector embeddings or hybrid dense-sparse vector storage.
- Real-time personalization based on user clickstreams or dynamic revenue re-ranking.
- Multi-region edge replication.

FAILURE MODES TO HANDLE:
- Webhook race conditions: Handle out-of-order product updates using Shopify `updated_at` timestamps.
- Typesense sync failures: Implement an automatic retry mechanism with exponential backoff on HTTP 5xx errors.
