Tigris Movie Database

An example of using Tigris Database + Search with a Movie dataset. Built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS.

tigris-move-db-app-22-may-web-720.mp4

The application loads 35,000 movies into a Tigris Database movies collection, automatically creating a Tigris Search index for the collection, enabling search functionality in the application.

The repo contains three branches:

1. main - the branch with Database to Search in place with the application refactored and optimized to show best practices with Tigris and Next.js.
2. db-only - the application with just the basic database functionality. The application is in a raw state and has not been refactored.
3. next - working branch for updates to be merged into main.
