The Builder

Developer Perspective

Ship

“Nothing matches its full-text search capabilities. If you need search, Elasticsearch is still the answer.”

The Skeptic

Reality Check

“Massively over-engineered for most search use cases. Postgres full-text search or Typesense handle 80% of cases at 10% the cost.”

The Futurist

Big Picture

Ship

“The convergence of search, observability, and security in one platform gives Elastic a unique position.”
