I am working on an application designed to keep runners motivated: https://www.frenzyrun.com

The main features include:

- Capture the flag: Every week, a virtual flag is planted randomly in various cities. Capture these flags to collect virtual coins, encouraging you to discover new areas.

- Virtual medals: Earn medals by running iconic distances. These medals will boost your experience.

- Groups: Compare your performance with that of your co-workers, friends, and family members.

There's still a lot of work to be done, bugs to fix, and features to enhance. However, it has already helped some of my friends and me to stay motivated.

If you are a runner or want to be one, which other feature can help you to stay motivated ?

I have used Bonsai and Searchbox in production (thousand of queries per day and few hundred thousands of documents). I have experienced issues with both of them :

* The SSL certificate of Bonsai has expired one day and nobody noticed it before I tweet it to the support team, they fixed it in less than 20 minutes

* I had some random downtimes on Searchbox

Like mathgeek, I am planning to run my own cluster on AWS EC2 to gain control on my cluster.

If you want to test one of these providers anyway, I recommend Bonsai because :

* the support team is fast and efficient

* the health API (and some others) is available on the cluster (not on Searchbox)
