Elastic's main selling point is not so much the full text search.

The search is what it does but most of it's value is centered in the management/scaling/monitoring of full text search over many machines.

I love Postgres but it's "clustering" story is definitely not as user friendly.

for logs (where you can shard on a modulo of timestamp) you might have luck with CitusDB (PostgreSQL sharding)

[nuker]

Is there a real scaling? Like increasing node count on indexing latency or CPU metrics?

[bpicolo]

Yes. You can scale ES to fairly massive data volumes. Postgres is a very different system with different design constraints.

There are plenty of peta-scale ES clusters in the wild

Have a look at YugabyteDB then.

Why would I do that when Elasticsearch is a proven search engine.

[rad_gruchalski]

I don’t know, maybe you yourself get confused. Why would you say this otherwise:

Then have a look at YugabyteDB.
