Manticore Search is a faster and open source alternative to Elasticsearch with very similar capabilities written in C++. 4x faster for big data, 29x faster for log analytics, 15x faster for small data. Manticore supports Kibana.
@sanikolaev this is very interesting even just from a technical perspective
How did you sustain yourself for so long & such an ambitious goal? Amazing...! Thank you!
Is there a business behind this?
@sam_smith16 Thank you Sam! We were sustainable from the first day since we were lucky to find a few corporations using Sphinx that needed someone to keep supporting it. Then we started selling support subscriptions and other services to other companies using Sphinx and then Manticore - https://manticoresearch.com/serv...
Five years ago we started Manticore Search. Today after 5 years and hundreds of new users, we're ready to say that Manticore Search can be used as an alternative to Elasticsearch for both full-text search and (now) data analytics too. All the details are in this article https://manticoresearch.com/blog...
