Quickwit

Search more with less

Quickwit launched on January 12, 2022 with 5 votes, #1,452 of 2,891 launches that month. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.

What it does

Quickwit is a distributed search engine designed from the ground up to offer cost-efficiency and high reliability on large data sets.

Sub-second search & analytics engine on cloud storage

As opposed to traditional search technologies designed for high QPS on limited volumes of data, Quickwit is optimized for search on raw data where QPS remains low but volume is limitless. Leverage Quickwit’s core architecture in Rust and Tantivy for optimized CPU and processing power, to execute queries directly on object storage for improved performance at a fraction of the usual cost. Quickwit is cloud-native! Easily deploy Quickwit in your existing environment, on-premise or on Kubernetes, plug it into the object storage (Amazon S3, MinIO, Ceph...) and distributed queue (Apache Kafka, Amazon Kinesis...) of your choice. Your data, your way. OwlyScan, our darknet search engine for…from quickwit.io

    Hi folks, Quickwit cofounder here. We started Quickwit 3 years ago with a POC, "Searching the web for under $1000/month" (see HN discussions [0]), with the goal of making a robust OSS alternative to Elasticsearch / Splunk / Datadog. We have reached a significant milestone with our latest release (0.7) [1], as we have witnessed users of the nightly version of Quickwit deploy clusters with hundreds of nodes, ingest hundreds of terabytes of data daily, and enjoy considerable cost savings. To give you a concrete example, one company is ingesting hundreds of terabytes of logs daily…

    Hi HN, Quickwit cofounder here! Quickwit is a cloud-native search engine for observability, and we have just released a significant upgrade with performance improvements, extended Elasticsearch API compatibility, and better integration with OpenTelemetry tools, Grafana, and Jaeger. This release is also a significant milestone as we have been witnessing users of the nightly version of Quickwit deploy clusters with hundreds of nodes, ingest hundreds of terabytes of data daily, and enjoy additional cost savings. We are very excited to put it in the hands of all of our users. One report…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • History: Last year I had to replace the tire on my bike, and I was surprised how difficult it was to find a suitable new tire. There were a lot of numbers written on the casing, so I googled what they meant. In the end I was successful, but I didn't want to do the same work again for the next bike after I've forgotten the details. So I wrote this website. Technically, the web page is kept very simple, no frameworks, no templates, no website builder. It uses HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, and it privides a responsive layout for mobile usage. I'm happy to receive feedback. If you have tried the…
