This is actually very interesting project. Do we have some benchmark that sonic works on huge scale with lot of data?
Adding Typesense to the list as an easier-to-use alternative to ElasticSearch: https://github.com/typesense/typesense
One thing to point out though is that Typesense, MeiliSearch (and Algolia) are designed for Instant Search experiences, and so hold the entire index in memory. So for petabyte scale data (like logs) it might be wasteful (and expensive) to store that size of data in memory. This is where ElasticSearch shines and of course comes with it the overhead of managing it.
> at grafana labs we are closely following these developments, and are constantly wrestling with decisions around what is best for our own licensing strategy.
It would be great to see a list of pros and cons for approaches taken by ElasticSearch, MongoDB, TimescaleDB regarding licensing.
BTW, we at VictoriaMetrics do not plan to change license for published source code. All the VictoriaMetrics source code is published under Apache 2.0 license [1].
