Search workflows have become faster for complex data while cloud-native flexibility still needs work
I think MarkLogic can be improved by providing good cloud infrastructure. Since we are in a very tech era, MarkLogic should provide good cloud infrastructure. If you look at other databases or systems like Kafka and MongoDB, they have cloud infrastructure. You do not need to worry about maintaining your own servers or provisioning your own servers. You simply log in and tell MarkLogic you want a certain number of clusters or nodes in a cluster and what cloud provider you want to use, then click okay, and they will build it for you. That is a headache with MarkLogic. Apart from that, I don't see any issues. It is a really great product.
