  Cloud-native search engine for observability. An open-source alternative to Datadog, Elasticsearch, Loki, and Tempo.

  

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.

  Tantivy is a full-text search engine library inspired by Apache Lucene and written in Rust

  

We also implemented our schemaless columnar storage optimized for object storage.

The inverted index and columnar storage are part of tantivy [0], which is the fastest search library out there. We maintain it and we decided to build the distributed engine on top of it.

  SigNoz is an open-source observability platform native to OpenTelemetry with logs, traces and metrics in a single application. An open-source alternative to DataDog, NewRelic, etc. 🔥 🖥. 👉 Open source Application Performance Monitoring (APM) & Observability tool

  

SigNoz maintainer here.

We also have traces, metrics and logs in a single application which makes correlation across them much easier. From what I can understand from Quickwit website, they use Grafana and Jaeger for UI.
