Elasticsearch

Distributed search and analytics engine

About Elasticsearch

Elasticsearch is a distributed search and analytics engine built for finding answers inside large volumes of text and log data at speed. Teams use it to power site search, application search, log analytics, observability and security monitoring, indexing documents so they can be queried with relevance ranking and aggregations in near real time. It sits at the center of the Elastic Stack alongside tools for ingestion and visualization. The core software follows a free and open model for self-managed use, while Elastic Cloud offers hosted and serverless plans where you pay for the compute and storage you consume.
