Anyone know more lightweight alternative to (ELK) Elastic Stack? I found https://vector.dev but it seems to be only the "L" part.

Have you looked into Google Cloud Logging (Stackdriver)? It's the most affordable and decent-enough solution we've found. The only issue is querying can be slow on large volumes.

I found Lucene's base library really easy to use without the configuration/infrastructure overhead of Elasticsearch, but haven't experienced it at scale:

Promtail/Loki https://github.com/grafana/loki is an alternative to elk, but while it seems more lightweight, it definitely is less featureful. The integration with grafana/prometheus seems nice, but I've only toyed with it, not used in production.

Solr is the equivalent-ish of ES, if you are looking for a search server instead of a library that can be embedded: https://lucene.apache.org/solr/
