Quickwit is a cloud-native, sub-second search and analytics engine designed to run directly on inexpensive object storage (such as S3, MinIO, and Ceph) to index and search logs and traces at scale. It is built in Rust on Tantivy, with a decoupled compute/storage architecture, multi-node scalability, a REST API, and support for on-premise, cloud, or Kubernetes deployments. As a core building block for log management and observability, it offers schemaless indexing, multi-tenancy, retention policies, and native OpenTelemetry/Jaeger integration to enable fast, cost-efficient queries over long-term data.
