Elastic's main selling point is not so much the full text search.
The search is what it does but most of it's value is centered in the management/scaling/monitoring of full text search over many machines.
I love Postgres but it's "clustering" story is definitely not as user friendly.
- rad_gruchalski 5y agoHave a look at YugabyteDB then.
- threeseed 5y agoWhy would I do that when Elasticsearch is a proven search engine.
- rad_gruchalski 5y agoI don’t know, maybe you yourself get confused. Why would you say this otherwise: > I love Postgres but it's "clustering" story is definitely not as user friendly. Then have a look at YugabyteDB.
- nuker 5y agoIs there a real scaling? Like increasing node count on indexing latency or CPU metrics?
- bpicolo 5y agoYes. You can scale ES to fairly massive data volumes. Postgres is a very different system with different design constraints. There are plenty of peta-scale ES clusters in the wild
- dijit 5y agofor logs (where you can shard on a modulo of timestamp) you might have luck with CitusDB (PostgreSQL sharding)
