On: Show HN: Quickwit – OSS Alternative to Elasticsearch, Splunk, Datadog

[dikei]

> To give you a concrete example, one company is ingesting hundreds of terabytes of logs daily and migrating from Elasticsearch to Quickwit. They divided their compute costs by 5x and storage costs by 2x while increasing retention from 3 to 30 days

I guess that's to be expected. Almost anything is more storage-efficient than Elasticsearch, FTS is so expensive.

Quickwit is FTS too though. I think the difference comes from the fact they stored stuff on EBS while Quickwit stores its index on S3.
