Quickwit is a cloud-native search engine for observability workloads including log management, distributed tracing, and other large-scale immutable event data.
It’s designed to execute search and analytics queries directly on object storage, with a decoupled compute and storage architecture that helps it scale efficiently while remaining straightforward to operate.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Provides full-text search and aggregation queries for observability data.
- Supports sub-second search directly on cloud object storage.
- Offers Elasticsearch-compatible APIs for search and ingest workflows.
- Works with OTEL-native logs and traces as well as Jaeger-native tracing.
- Supports both schemaless indexing and strict schema indexing.
- Uses stateless indexers and searchers with decoupled compute and storage.
- Includes a RESTful API and Grafana data source integration.
- Supports Kubernetes deployments with Helm charts.
