Elasticsearch
#backend#devops
Elasticsearch is a distributed search and analytics engine built on Lucene: full-text search, aggregations, and log/document indexing at large scale. It often appears with Kibana for UI and Beats/Logstash for ingestion—the “Elastic Stack.” Compared to Loki, Elasticsearch is heavier and more full-text oriented; choose based on query patterns, cost, and ops appetite.
