Elastic Stack

One of the best features I like is that Elastic built their own kubernetes operator to extend the k8s orchestration and make it easy to deploy, scale, change, secure and configure hot-warm infrastructures. Their operator saves a ton of time during configuration. I have deployed stacks on different k8s architectures like Azure Kubernetes Service, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service and small on prem clusters with microk8s without issues. When we reach performance thresholds we add more elastic nodes and ECK secures and joins it to the cluster and in minutes we can leverage the extra compute. A lot of changes that are done after going to PROD are non-disruptive since ECK is aware of the main node and makes sure to pass the master role before the main one is re-deployed. I have also migrated Elastic Cloud Enterprise deployments running on bare metal and the stability of ECK is unmatched.

Currently it is not recommended or supported for a PROD cluster to do its own self monitoring so you have to deploy a monitoring cluster. In cloud scenarios this adds costs and extra complexity so it will be great to have this feature supported.

I mostly like the Elastic Search queries. Those follow a certain standard and work very well. Data retrieval is very easy and fast in Elastic Search.Visualizing data thru Kibana is very smooth and straightforward. It supports a couple of inbuilt dashboards to represent the data nicely.

Nothing to dislike about Elastic Stack. The only thing is configuration and setup should be correct. It could take some time for beginners.

It is a super fast and efficient data extraction tool. Recommended for medium-sized projects.
Handles large amounts of data, is scalable.

Usable from any device, however these must be state-of-the-art and offer great calculation speeds and ram storage.

It can handle large volumes of data and scale to meet the needs of growing businesses. The stack allows for near real-time data analysis, providing businesses with the ability to make quick decisions based on current data. Elastic stack is open source, which means that it can be customized and extended to meet specific business needs. Elastic Stack has a large and active community of users and developers, providing a wealth of resources and support for businesses.

The Elastic Stack is a powerful tool, but it can be complex to set up and manage, especially for users with limited technical expertise
