Sub-second search & analytics engine on cloud storage. Quickwit is the fastest search engine on cloud storage. Quickwit has an Elasticsearch-compatible Ingest-API to make it easier to migrate your log shippers (Vector, Fluent Bit, Syslog, ...) to Quickwit. However, we only support ES aggregation DSL, the query DSL support is planned for Q2 2023. The core difference and advantage of Quickwit are its architecture built from the ground to search on cloud storage. We optimized IO paths, revamped the index data structures and made search stateless and sub-second on cloud storage. Quickwit is open-source under the GNU Affero General Public License Version 3 - AGPLv3. Fundamentally, this means you are free to use Quickwit for your project if you don't modify Quickwit. However, if you do and you are distributing your modified version to the public, you have to make the modifications public.
