@sanikolaev this is very interesting even just from a technical perspective How did you sustain yourself for so long & such an ambitious goal? Amazing...! Thank you! Is there a business behind this?

@sam_smith16 Thank you Sam! We were sustainable from the first day since we were lucky to find a few corporations using Sphinx that needed someone to keep supporting it. Then we started selling support subscriptions and other services to other companies using Sphinx and then Manticore - https://manticoresearch.com/serv...

Five years ago we started Manticore Search. Today after 5 years and hundreds of new users, we're ready to say that Manticore Search can be used as an alternative to Elasticsearch for both full-text search and (now) data analytics too. All the details are in this article https://manticoresearch.com/blog... In short: ✔️ 4x faster than Elasticsearch for big data ✔️ 29x faster than Elasticsearch for log analytics ✔️ 15x faster than Elasticsearch for small data ✔️ Support of Kibana (beta stage) ✔️ Support of Logstash (alpha stage) ✔️ 2x faster than Elasticsearch in terms of data ingestion ✔️ Written in C++ ✔️ Purely open source ✔️ SQL-first ✔️ JSON interface similar to Elasticsearch's ✔️ Starts much faster than Elasticsearch ✔️ Fair real-time data processing (Elasticsearch is near-real-time by default) ✔️ Rich full-text search capabilities ✔️ Rich aggregation capabilities ✔️ Support of MySQL wire protocol ✔️ Supports replication and distributed indexes ✔️ Helm chart for Kubernetes ✔️ Imperative and declarative usage modes ✔️ Percolate index
