Elasticsearch
Databases
Elasticsearch is a distributed, open-source search and analytics engine built on Apache Lucene, designed to store and query large volumes of structured and unstructured data quickly. Developers and data engineers use it to power full-text search, log analytics, and real-time data exploration in applications and dashboards. It forms the core component of the Elastic Stack (ELK) alongside Logstash and Kibana.
