From what I have read (and I have to admit it's not a lot), this is re-inventing logstash/elasticsearch integration only it's written in Go and not Ruby/Java.

From what I have read (and I have to admit it's not a lot), this is re-inventing logstash/elasticsearch integration only it's written in Go and not Ruby/Java.
I would love to hear/read more about WHY would you reinvent this. Is it only because it's Java/Ruby and you think Go is better?
I went to each of the parts and search ElasticSearch/Logstash keywords and found nothing. Seems weird to even not mention those solutions.
Am I missing something?
- spydum 11y agoI think it's just someone's dive into Go.. But otherwise yes, this is just a barebones ElasticSearch..
- otoolep 11y agoGo is definitely part of it. It's the first language I've used that makes so much of this easy to do, and still produce robust software.
- otoolep 11y agoEkanite author here - thanks for the comments. This is not about replacing those systems. If you want to run the ELK stack, Splunk, etc for your logs, that is great -- they are all good software, mature, and do the job very well. Ekanite is about the challenge of building the same functionality all within a single binary, and seeing how well it will work. Drop a single binary on your machine, don't worry about Ruby and JVMs, and you're done. It's also about helping people understand how search and indexing systems work internally, as it is quite interesting.
- avitzurel 11y agoThat's awesome! Kudos for this work. [Off] What did you use to draw the graphics in the blog post?
