Ekanite author here - thanks for the comments.<p>This is not about replacing those systems. If you want to run the ELK stack, Splunk, etc for your logs, that is great -- they are all good software, mature, and do the job very well.<p>Ekanite is about the challenge of building the same functionality all within a single binary, and seeing how well it will work. Drop a single binary on your machine, don&#x27;t worry about Ruby and JVMs, and you&#x27;re done.<p>It&#x27;s also about helping people understand how search and indexing systems work internally, as it is quite interesting.
