• Quickwit 0.6.0 - Search and analytics on billions of logs with minimal hardware
  4 projects | /r/selfhosted | 9 Jun 2023

  Two years after, we are finally reaching a version that can deliver our promise. Two years is both very long for a startup and very short when building a distributed engine. And we decided to do it the hard way: we implemented our own OSS gossip library, our own {S3,JSON}-friendly columnar format for schemaless analytics, and of course, we maintain our own search library, tantivy. This is a lot of engineering investment and obviously, it takes some time to finally reach the end users.

• Show HN: Quickwit – Cost-efficient Elasticsearch alternative on object storage
  5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 7 Jun 2023

  - Another nice comment seen on HN « it seems to be very easy to run, not very IO intensive, and running fine on a single node with modest hardware with >2 billion log rows. It has a really cool dynamic schema feature too.» [9]

  Fun fact: at least 4 users are using Garage[10] as the object storage, this OSS project looks really promising and made the HN front page a few months ago[11], we really cherish the OSS for this kind of unexpected combination.

  Any feedback positive/negative always greatly appreciated here!
