I was interviewing earlier this year and saw at least three companies actively planning to migrate from their existing relational databases into Elasticsearch.
It seems to commonly be perceived as a panacea of databases.
- alkz 5y agoin most cases elastic is easier to scale than a relational or timeseries db
- moduspol 5y agoI mean, kind of? It depends on what your data looks like and how you're querying it. If you're not doing free-text search, and your data will fit in memory in a big relational database VM for the foreseeable future, why Elasticsearch?
- alkz 5y agosure relational db is ok if fits in memory, but if we're talking about TBs of metrics i'd rather look for another way
