Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Elastic deployment, scaling, and use cases

How does Elastic scale for large datasets?

+

Elastic scales horizontally through clustering - you can add more nodes to handle increased data volume and query load. Elasticsearch automatically distributes data across nodes and rebalances as you scale.

What's the difference between Elastic Cloud and self-managed?

+

Elastic Cloud is a fully managed service where Elastic handles infrastructure, updates, and scaling. Self-managed gives you full control over deployment, configuration, and maintenance but requires your team to handle operations.

Can Elastic handle real-time data ingestion?

+

Yes, Elastic is designed for real-time data ingestion and search. With proper configuration, you can achieve sub-second indexing and search response times even with high ingestion rates.

What security features does Elastic provide?

+

Elastic includes comprehensive security features: TLS encryption, role-based access control, audit logging, field-level security, and integration with external authentication systems like LDAP and SAML.

How does Elastic compare to traditional databases?

+

Elastic excels at search and analytics workloads that traditional databases struggle with. It's optimized for full-text search, complex aggregations, and real-time analytics rather than transactional consistency.

What kind of support does Elastic offer?

+

Elastic offers multiple support tiers: community support (free), basic support, enhanced support, and premium support with dedicated technical account management and faster response times.
