I don't believe meilisearch or typesense are API compatible with Elasticsearch. I think the best part of this new tool is its a drop-in replacement.

Edit: Nevermind, in another part of this thread the maintainer said:

    We do get compared to Elasticsearch a lot. While we support some of its APIs, Manticore isn't a drop-in replacement

Which conflicts with the README: "Drop-in replacement for E in the ELK stack"

It's not a drop-in replacement in general, but it can be seen as a drop-in replacement for Elasticsearch in the ELK stack because: - You can send data to Manticore using Logstash (L) - You can visualize the data using Kibana (K)

Sorry for the confusion :)

That is the most bullshit thing I’ve read in a while. Send data to manticore via logstash does not make you an elasticsearch replacement. And a lot of elasticsearch use cases are not using kibana.

(Logstash can basically ingest and output to everything…)

[snikolaev]

But not everything works with Kibana. What are some well known alternatives besides Manticore?

FYI, manticore is not "new". It has been around many years, and is based on Sphinx search which has been around longer than, I think, Lucene (which elasticseaech is built on)
