Anyway tantivy is great! I love pg_search https://www.paradedb.com/blog/introducing_search (which appears to be built by another company, but on top of tantivy, which is a great feature of open source)

Now, I am worried about development being stalled after this acquisition. How does further developing tantivy in the open helps Datadog's bottom line?

I love quickwit, unfortunately datadog has a history of murdering open source (e.g. vector.io halting development and never fixing gross bugs)

Yeah, a Vector dev that is now at Datadog told me that Vector is essentially deprecated.

(Disclaimer: datadog employee)

I joined Datadog after the Vector acquisition and now currently am the manager for the Community Open Source Engineering team that works on Vector open source.

It’s def. not deprecated, but it did take awhile to sort out. It’s not easy figuring out business vs giving away software for free.

Anyways, there’s quite a few issues and GitHub discussions everyday, in addition to Discord chats.

On the contrary, It's quite active lately - https://vector.dev/releases/

I'm using Vector for my own infrastructure and at work, at the time it seemed the best option to ship logs to various destinations. Are there any alternatives?

If you want to check out OpenTelemetry, Otel-collector does the same job - though it's tightly coupled to opentelemetry

pg_search dev here -- Thanks for mentioning us.

Re: Tantivy. I'm hopeful the community Paul and the Quickwit team have built on top of Tantivy will continue to flourish. I'm sure Datadog will build product(s) with Quickwit, which is built on Tantivy and will contribute to it. Many other companies like ours (ParadeDB) and other databases also integrate it. I can't speak for others, but we'll contribute whenever possible. We're currently working on supporting nested documents in Tantivy, for example, and hoping to upstream this work.

While it's reasonable to be concerned, I'd say this is a win for Quickwit, Tantivy and, of course, the well-deserving team behind them.
