### We have just released the first version of Quickwit. Check out our [blog post](https://quickwit.io/blog/quickwit-first-release/) to grasp what we have been doing for the last six months.

<br/>

Quickwit is a distributed search engine built from the ground up to offer cost-efficiency and high reliability. By mere mortals for mere mortals, Quickwit's architecture is as simple as possible <sup>[1](#footnote1)</sup>.

Quickwit is written in Rust and built on top of the mighty [tantivy](https://github.com/tantivy-search/tantivy) library. We designed it to index big datasets.

## Why Quickwit?

Quickwit is born from the idea that today's search engines are hard to manage and uneconomical when dealing with large datasets and a low QPS<sup>[2](#footnote2)</sup> rate. Its benefits are most apparent in a multitenancy or a multi-index setting.

Quickwit allows true decoupled compute and storage.
We designed it to search straight from object storage like AWS S3 in a stateless manner.

Imagine hosting an arbitrary amount of indices on S3 for $25/TB.month and querying them with the same pool of search servers and with a subsecond latency.

Not only is Quickwit more cost-efficient, but search clusters are also easier to operate. One can add or remove search instances in seconds. You can also effortlessly index a massive amount of historical data using your favorite batch technology. Last but not least, Multi-tenant search is now cheap and painless.
