And Vector[3] as a Logstash alternative too. There is an issue[4] proposing to integrate Vector with Sonic and Toshi. Maybe Zinc can pursue this goal too. Always good to see people who realize that Java is unwieldy monster that will eat all your memory. Native is a way to go for big systems.&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;toshi-search&amp;#x2F;Toshi&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;toshi-search&amp;#x2F;Toshi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[2] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;valeriansaliou&amp;#x2F;sonic&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;valeriansaliou&amp;#x2F;sonic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[3] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;vector.dev&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;vector.dev&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[4] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;vectordotdev&amp;#x2F;vector&amp;#x2F;issues&amp;#x2F;988&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;vectordotdev&amp;#x2F;vector&amp;#x2F;issues&amp;#x2F;988&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>

Zinc provides its own UI).&lt;p&gt;1. I was hoping for a drop-in replacement for Elasticsearch.  A new&amp;#x2F;different API means Zinc can&amp;#x27;t leverage existing tools that use Elasticsearch.&lt;p&gt;2. I don&amp;#x27;t like that you&amp;#x27;re bundling zinc with a UI; that disadvantages anyone else trying to build a better UI and often (usually?) leads to tying the db too closely to the UI (or vice versa)</text></comment>
