For anyone who's interested, two other popular contenders for replacing Elasticsearch are Typesense (https://typesense.org/ https://typesense.org/) and Meilisearch (https://www.meilisearch.com/ https://www.meilisearch.com/). (both are also trying to replace Algolia, because both have cloud offerings)

  Isn't that just an old fork of Elasticsearch?
  - mdaniel 1y ago
    It is a fork, but not old; they have ongoing commits: https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch/commits/main https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch/commits/mai... Plus, given that AWS is currently hosting Open Search, they are not incentivized to sit on their laurels when it comes to modern features or stability

      Went from ES and sharding hell to less of a sharding hell with OS on AWS. I've been looking for a replacement ever since first friday evening sharding party with infrastructure team.

        "sharding party" Man, that made me laugh. I'm using that.

        yeah, you haven't lived until you curled in blind rage _cluster/allocation/explain and _cat/shards?h=index,shard,prirep,state,unassigned.reason | grep UNASSIGNED every few seconds; In production party, with tarantulas on your back asking for status, of course.

I don't believe meilisearch or typesense are API compatible with Elasticsearch. I think the best part of this new tool is its a drop-in replacement. Edit: Nevermind, in another part of this thread the maintainer said: We do get compared to Elasticsearch a lot. While we support some of its APIs, Manticore isn't a drop-in replacement Which conflicts with the README: "Drop-in replacement for E in the ELK stack"

  It's not a drop-in replacement in general, but it can be seen as a drop-in replacement for Elasticsearch in the ELK stack because: - You can send data to Manticore using Logstash (L) - You can visualize the data using Kibana (K) Sorry for the confusion :)
  - merb 1y ago
    That is the most bullshit thing I’ve read in a while. Send data to manticore via logstash does not make you an elasticsearch replacement. And a lot of elasticsearch use cases are not using kibana. (Logstash can basically ingest and output to everything…)
    - snikolaev 1y ago
      But not everything works with Kibana. What are some well known alternatives besides Manticore?
- nchmy 1y ago
  FYI, manticore is not "new". It has been around many years, and is based on Sphinx search which has been around longer than, I think, Lucene (which elasticseaech is built on)

Honourable mention to ZincSearch, if you are looking for a lightweight single binary (golang) alternative: https://github.com/zincsearch/zincsearch https://github.com/zincsearch/zincsearch I have no affiliation.
