Reviewer scorecard
“Nothing matches its full-text search capabilities. If you need search, Elasticsearch is still the answer.”
“Turn SQL queries into instant APIs. The real-time ingestion and ClickHouse performance are impressive.”
“Massively over-engineered for most search use cases. Postgres full-text search or Typesense handle 80% of cases at 10% the cost.”
“If you need real-time analytics APIs, Tinybird eliminates the infrastructure complexity. The SQL-to-API model is clean.”
“The convergence of search, observability, and security in one platform gives Elastic a unique position.”
“Real-time analytics as an API is the right abstraction for modern data-driven applications.”
