Hi guys, excellent podcast! I just wanted to mention a couple of things:
If you want to use Solr with views, you need to create a view that shows index results instead of content, so you need to plan that on advance otherwise if you want to switch to use solr in your view, you need to rebuild the view.
Also you can use a ton of configuration from Search API and just hitting your db instead of an index for solr, it's not as performant but it may be a good solution for certain scenarios, even drupal.org uses it.
If you are using d7 you'll also need https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api_db
