Elastic Cloud Serverless
Architecting the next-generation of Managed Intake Service
APM Server has been the de facto service for ingesting data from Elastic APM agents and OTel agents. In this blog post, we will walk through our journey of redesigning the APM Server product to scale and evolve into a more generic ingest component for Elastic Observability while also improving the reliability and maintainability compared to the traditional APM Server.
Data safety in a stateless world
We discuss the data durability guarantees in stateless including how we fence new writes and deletes with a safety check which prevents stale nodes from acknowledging new writes or deletes
Leveraging Kubernetes controller patterns to orchestrate Elastic workloads globally
Understand how Kubernetes controller primitives are used at very large scale to power Elastic Cloud Serverless.
Stop project sizing, start search tier autoscaling!
Serverless users no longer need to worry about cluster sizing their search tier thanks to autoscaling.
Introducing Serverless Thin Indexing Shards
Learn more about Thin Indexing Shards, a new component developed especially for Elasticsearch in our Elastic Cloud Serverless offering.
How we optimized refresh costs in Elasticsearch Serverless
We explore how serverless Elasticsearch facilitates searches using data stored in a blob store while maintaining the same visibility semantics as stateful Elasticsearch. We discuss the challenges encountered during implementation and share strategies for balancing costs and complexity.
Ingest autoscaling in Elasticsearch
