For anyone who's interested, two other popular contenders for replacing Elasticsearch are Typesense (https://typesense.org/) and Meilisearch (https://www.meilisearch.com/).

(both are also trying to replace Algolia, because both have cloud offerings)

Honourable mention to ZincSearch, if you are looking for a lightweight single binary (golang) alternative: https://github.com/zincsearch/zincsearch

I have no affiliation.

Don't forget OpenSearch[0].

Isn't that just an old fork of Elasticsearch?

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 :)

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)
