Never had the chance to use Quickwit at a $DAYJOB (yet?), but I really appreciate the fact that it scales down quite well too. Currently running it on my homelab, after a number of small annoyances using Loki in a single-node cluster, and it's been working very well with very reasonable resource usage.

I also decide to use Tantivy (the rust library powering/written by Quickwit) for my own bookmarking search tool by embedding it in Elixir, and the API and docs have been quite pleasant to work with. Hats of to the team, looking forward to what's coming next!

Ah Loki, I wanted to try it at my homelab bit it wasn't as simple as it says. Now I wanted to try Zincsearch or Openobserve. Have you tried that?

You might want to have a look at SigNoz [1] as well. We have also published some perf benchmark wrt Elastic & Loki [2] and have some cool features like logs pipeline for manipulating logs before ingestion

in case it matters to others, https://github.com/openobserve/openobserve/tree/v0.7.0 is the last Apache2 licensed copy before they went AGPL with 0.7.1

https://github.com/openobserve/openobserve/blob/v0.7.0/.env.... is some "onoz" for me, but just recently someone submitted https://github.com/aenix-io/etcd-operator to the CNCF sandbox so maybe things have gotten better around keeping that PoS alive

> it wasn't as simple as it says

mind elaborating? we built loki for some pretty massive scale but I've always tried to make it work at super small scale to. what went wrong?

I use OpenObserve and I quite enjoy it

Tantivity is great!

Here is a postgres extension that uses it to provide full text search

tantivy, not tantivity!!!!!

Some companies are using it with AWS Lambda to scale to 0.
