How would it compare to something like https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch? The main differentiator for me seems to be "Compatibility with Elasticsearch API".
Typesense holds the entire index in memory, in order to enable fast search where every keystroke returns results in 50-150ms. So it’s built primarily to enable user-facing search.
It’s not a good fit for log search since putting your entire log dataset in memory can become expensive depending on the size of your logs, and you typically don’t need search-as-you-type for log search.
Zinc on the other hand seems to be designed specifically for log search.
Alternative doesn't always mean they are API compatible, it's an alternative and not a drop-in replacement. My question was about how comparable it is apart from the API compatibility.
