Overview
Quickwit is a search engine built for observability. It stores its indexes on cloud object storage and is designed to search logs and traces there quickly, which keeps storage costs low.
What it does well
Quickwit supports full-text search and aggregations, schemaless or strict schemas, and has an Elasticsearch-compatible API, so you can use Elasticsearch or OpenSearch clients. It's native to OpenTelemetry for logs and traces and to Jaeger for distributed tracing, and works with Grafana for trace analytics.
Why it’s in the collection
Quickwit is a cheaper way to keep large volumes of logs and traces searchable, because data lives on object storage. Quickwit has joined Datadog, where the team is building a new product, and relicensed Quickwit to Apache 2.0 so the community can carry it on.
