Awesome Java Newsletter·2yStructured logging in Spring Boot 3.4
Structured logging in Spring Boot 3.4 allows logs to be written in well-defined, machine-readable formats such as JSON. This enables powerful search and analytics capabilities. It supports the Elastic Common Schema (ECS) and Logstash formats and allows for custom formats. Developers can add additional fields to logs for better filtering and analysis. Logs can be output to the console or written to a file for different use cases.
elastic·2yElasticsearch is open source, again
Elasticsearch and Kibana are now open source again with the addition of the AGPL license option. Elastic believes this move will reduce confusion and strengthen their open-source commitment. The decision comes three years after changing the license due to issues with AWS, which ultimately resolved market confusion and bolstered the AWS partnership. Existing licenses (ELv2 and SSPL) remain in place, providing more choices for users.
Dreams of Code·2yElasticSearch returning to open source is a big deal.
ElasticSearch has announced a return to open source, transitioning to the AGPL license. This move reverses their 2021 decision to adopt a dual license model due to concerns about AWS's business practices. The shift signals a potential end to the recent trend of companies moving away from open source and could indicate a market shift. Despite positive sentiments from open-source enthusiasts, the company's stock has dropped by 25% in after-hours trading.
Hacker News·2yFull Text Search over Postgres: Elasticsearch vs. Alternatives
In the quest for a full text search (FTS) solution over data in Postgres, companies often compare Elasticsearch and native Postgres FTS. Postgres FTS is simple, requires no additional infrastructure, and excels at real-time search but falls short in features and performance over large datasets. Conversely, Elasticsearch offers a comprehensive feature set and high performance but involves significant operational overhead and costs. Alternatives like Algolia, Meilisearch, and Typesense provide specialized solutions but aren't tailored for Postgres. A new contender, ParadeDB, aims to combine the benefits of both approaches by providing advanced FTS capabilities within Postgres.
