SereneDB is the result of 12 years of development - an open-source database that does ultra-fast full-text and fast analytics in one engine. Postgres- and Elastic-compatible: keep your SQL, your drivers, and your Elastic clients; drop the second system and the ETL between them. In our public benchmark, it outperforms Elasticsearch, ClickHouse, and Postgres search extensions, and indexes 1B logs in under 8 minutes at ~10x less disk. Apache 2.0, methodology, and raw results are public.

Could you build this?
No Building a high-performance database with custom columnar storage, RocksDB durability, full-text search indexing, and a PostgreSQL-compatible wire protocol requires deep database systems engineering.
What it would actually take: The engine is written in C++ or Rust, integrating Meta's Velox for vectorized SQL analytical execution, custom inverted indexes for full-text search, RocksDB for ACID transactional storage, and a custom network parser implementing the Postgres FE/BE protocol. It demands world-class systems programmers with decades of combined experience in query optimization, storage engine design, memory management, and distributed systems.
