Elasticsearch powers search, logging, and analytics for thousands of companies. Part of the ELK stack. Powerful but complex to operate and expensive to host.

“Nothing matches its full-text search capabilities. If you need search, Elasticsearch is still the answer.”
“Massively over-engineered for most search use cases. Postgres full-text search or Typesense handle 80% of cases at 10% the cost.”
“The convergence of search, observability, and security in one platform gives Elastic a unique position.”
