Could you build this?
No Parseable is an open-source distributed observability datalake built in Rust capable of processing 100M events/min on object storage, which demands deep systems programming and database internals expertise.
What it would actually take: Built in Rust using Apache Arrow, DataFusion, and Parquet, interfacing directly with S3-compatible object storage. The challenges involve high-throughput concurrent stream ingestion, vectorization, SIMD optimizations, custom indexing algorithms, and zero-copy query execution over petabyte-scale distributed object stores.
Discussion

Competitors mentioned: VictoriaMetrics, Thanos, ClickHouse, Prometheus
Concerns raised: Scalability compared to alternatives reaching billions of series, Resource tradeoffs of columnar DBs like RAM usage, query speed, and IO
