Manticore Search
With nearly 12,000 GitHub stars and a lineage tracing back to Sphinx Search, Manticore Search is the C++ search database that delivers the full-text, vector, and hybrid search capabilities of Elasticsearch at a fraction of the resource cost — starting in under a second and consuming just 40MB RAM for an empty instance. The SQL-first interface speaks the MySQL wire protocol, meaning mysql client, MySQL Workbench, and any MySQL-compatible driver connects natively without adapters, while the HTTP JSON API provides RESTful access for modern applications. Over 20 full-text operators handle proximity search, quorum matching, field-start and field-end constraints, MAYBE operators, and regex patterns, backed by stemming, lemmatization, stopwords, synonyms, wordforms, and advanced morphology in 70+ languages. Vector search with HNSW indexing enables semantic similarity queries, and hybrid mode combines keyword relevance with vector distance in a single ranked result set using a cost-based query optimizer. Real-time indexing delivers sub-second document availability after insert, sharded tables distribute data across nodes, and Galera-based synchronous replication ensures high availability. Conversational search via CREATE CHAT MODEL and CALL CHAT integrates LLM-backed responses with KNN retrieval and conversation history directly inside the database. Client libraries ship for PHP, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Go, Rust, and Elixir. Columnar storage via the Manticore Columnar Library handles analytical workloads on large datasets.

RisingWave
With over 9,100 GitHub stars and production deployments powering real-time analytics at companies like SHOPLINE where it reduced API latency by 76.7%, RisingWave is the PostgreSQL-compatible streaming database that collapses the traditional Debezium-plus-Kafka-plus-Flink-plus-serving-database stack into a single Rust-powered system. The platform continuously ingests data from PostgreSQL and MySQL via native CDC connectors that eliminate Debezium middleware, consumes Kafka, Redpanda, Pulsar, and Kinesis topics, accepts webhook events from SaaS applications, and batch-loads historical data from S3 and data warehouses. Standard SQL defines sources, materialized views, and sinks — no new DSL, no Java, and no custom API — while the PostgreSQL wire protocol means psql, DBeaver, pgAdmin, Grafana, Metabase, Superset, Tableau, and every PostgreSQL client library works without modification. Materialized views are incrementally maintained as events arrive, delivering point lookups in single-digit milliseconds without recomputing aggregates from scratch. For long-term retention, RisingWave writes to Apache Iceberg tables with a hosted REST catalog and automated table maintenance including compaction, small-file optimization, and snapshot cleanup, with data queryable by Spark, Trino, DuckDB, and DataFusion. The disaggregated compute-storage architecture uses S3-based state management for elastic scaling, instant failure recovery measured in seconds rather than the minutes-to-hours typical of RocksDB-based systems, and cost-efficient storage tiering. An MCP server enables AI agents to query and operate RisingWave directly. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache 2.0 licensed.
