Easy to use open source fast database for search Manticore Search is an easy-to-use, open-source, and fast database designed for search. It is a great alternative to Elasticsearch. Introduction ❗Read recent blog post about Manticore vs Elasticsearch❗ What distinguishes it from other solutions is: It's very fast and therefore more cost-efficient than alternatives, for example Manticore is: 182x faster than MySQL for small data (reproducible❗) 29x faster than Elasticsearch for log analytics (reproducible❗) 15x faster than Elasticsearch for small dataset (reproducible❗) 5x faster than Elasticsearch for medium-size data (reproducible❗) 4x faster than Elasticsearch for big data (reproducible❗) up to 2x faster max throughput than Elasticsearch's for data ingestion on a single server (reproducible❗) With its modern multithreading architecture and efficient query parallelization capabilities, Manticore is able to fully utilize all your CPU cores to achieve the quickest response times possible. The powerful and speedy full-text search works seamlessly with both small and large datasets. Row-wise storage for small, medium and big size datasets. For even larger datasets, Manticore offers columnar storage support through the Manticore Columnar Library, capable of handling datasets too big to fit in RAM. Performant secondary indexes are automatically created using the PGM-index (Piecewise Geometric Model index), which provides efficient mapping between indexed keys and their memory locations. The cost-based query optimizer uses statistical data about indexed data to evaluate and determine the most efficient execution plan. Manticore is SQL-first, utilizing SQL as its native syntax, and offers compatibility with the MySQL protocol, allowing you to use your preferred MySQL client. With clients available in PHP, Python, Python asyncio JavaScript, Typescript, Java, Elixir, Go, and Rust, integration with Manticore Search becomes easy. Manticore also provides a programmatic HTTP JSON ...
