Show HN: Quickwit – OSS Alternative to Elasticsearch, Splunk, Datadog
Hi folks, Quickwit cofounder here.
We started Quickwit 3 years ago with a POC, "Searching the web for under $1000/month" (see HN discussions [0]), with the goal of making a robust OSS alternative to Elasticsearch / Splunk / Datadog.
We have reached a significant milestone with our latest release (0.7) [1], as we have witnessed users of the nightly version of Quickwit deploy clusters with hundreds of nodes, ingest hundreds of terabytes of data daily, and enjoy considerable cost savings.
To give you a concrete example, one company is ingesting hundreds of terabytes of logs daily and migrating from Elasticsearch to Quickwit. They divided their compute costs by 5x and storage costs by 2x while increasing retention from 3 to 30 days. They also increased their durability, accuracy with exactly-once semantics thanks to the native Kafka support, and elasticity.
The 0.7 release also brings better integrations with the Observability ecosystem: improvements of the Elasticsearch-compatible API and better support of OpenTelemetry standards, Grafana, and Jaeger.
Of course, we still have a lot of work to be a fully-fledged observability engine, and we would love to get some feedback or suggestions.
To give you a glance at our 2024 roadmap, we planned to focus on Kibana/OpenDashboard integration, metrics support, and pipe-based query language.

S3 Express Is All You Need
We tested S3 Express for our search engine quickwit[0] a couple of weeks ago.
While this was really satisfying on the performance side, we were a bit disappointed by the price, and I mostly agree with the article on this matter.
I can see some very specific use cases where the pricing should be OK but currently, I would say most of our users should just stay on the classic S3 and add some local SSD caching if they have a lot of requests.

Show HN: Quickwit – Cost-Efficient OSS Search Engine for Observability
Hi HN, I’m one of the builders of Quickwit, a cloud-native OSS search engine for observability. As of 2023, we support logs and traces, metrics will come in 2024.
You know the pitch: while software like Datadog or Splunk are great, they often comes with hefty price tags. Our mission is to offer an affordable alternative. So we’ve built Quickwit, we’ve made it compatible with the observabilty ecosystem (OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, Grafana) and above all, we’ve made it cost-efficient / “easy” to scale (well it’s never easy to scale to petabytes..).
To give you a glance at the engine performance I made a benchmark on the GitHub Archive dataset, 23 TB of events, here are the main observations:
Indexing: costs $2 per ingested TB. With 4CPU, throughput is at 20MBs However, you'll observe > 30MB throughput on simpler datasets, like logs and traces.
Search: a typical query costs $0.0002 per TB (considering both CPU time and GET request costs). Using 8CPU, a simple query on 23TB is achieved in under a second.
Storage: on S3, it costs $8 per ingested TB per month on the GitHub Archive dataset. With logs and traces, you might see costs around $5/ingested TB due to a 2x better compression ratio.
I'm eager to get your thoughts on this!

Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2023)
Quickwit (https://quickwit.io/) | Paris, France | Onsite and remote (based in Europe) | Full-time
The company is fully remote but we also have a small office in Paris. We prefer candidates based in Europe but can make exceptions for the right profiles.
- Senior Software Engineer 80-110k€ + 0.25-1% equity based on experience.
We’re looking for a senior software engineer to contribute to [Quickwit](https://github.com/quickwit-oss/quickwit), our open-source search and analytics engine. We have an ambitious roadmap for the next 18 months (performance optimization, distributed storage, support for SQL, query optimizer, revamp of our execution engine, etc.), and this is a great opportunity to shape the future of Quickwit while tackling fun and challenging problems in the field of distributed databases.

OpenObserve: Open source Elasticsearch alternative in Rust for logs. 140x lower storage cost
For log systems you generally don't migrate data. Logs lose value over time. What you want to do is to go ahead and start ingesting data into the new system (OpenObserve in this case) and slowly, the data in the old system will become stale and then you can retire it. However if you need to export logs anyhow, there is no straightforward way in loki to do this. You could run a script to query loki and export it to a file. If found this thread with a sample script - https://github.com/grafana/loki/issues/409

Config files of snaps?
That snap is woefully out of date. The upstream repo was recently updated to 2.8.2, but the snap stable channel has 2.4.1 from 18 months ago. https://github.com/grafana/loki/releases/tag/v2.8.2

I can't recommend serious use of an all-in-one local Grafana Loki setup
I installed promtail a few weeks back and I ran into this bug, that has been outstanding for months: https://github.com/grafana/loki/issues/8663 (e.g. a fix had been written but had not been released):
Due to a buffering issue, Loki would exit in case of configuration error without printing any error message or anything at all
There is definitely something weird about how the project is run.
