Founder here,

Parseable is a lightweight log ingestion and query engine written in Rust. Parseable can ingest data from existing logging agents (FluentBit, LogStash, Vector, syslog-ng and more) using HTTP + JSON output. Ingested logs are stored as semi-indexed Parquet files (on disk or S3).

You can query the data with builtin query engine using SQL or use a query engines of choice like Spark, Presto, Trino and so on.

We also developed a Grafana data source plugin that lets you visualise log data via Grafana. Sample dashboard link in readme.

As log data grew, our industry has responded with SaaS and fully managed offerings, but if you're looking for freedom, interoperability and full control over your data - there are no great options. With Parseable, we are looking to provide an strong, viable and FOSS alternative.



Came across this and found really interesting. Would love to read more about why you are comparing this with elastic. Doesn't seem like a alternative to elastic. Elasticsearch is a search engine (indexing engine), but in your docs you state that parseable uses indexing free approach.


Why just state that this is commercial, instead of using AGPL?

It is worse than commercial license.


Got any advice for React Native applications?
