Over the years the adoption of Elasticsearch and its ecosystem of tools positioned them as the leaders in the time series data management and analysis market. With strong search capabilities, a great analytical engine, Kibana as the flexible front-end, and a number of data shippers enable the building of end to end data processing pipeline using components designed to work with each other. A very simple setup and configuration resulted in high adoption rates and the whole stack gaining more and more users.
With Elasticsearch gaining in popularity, several hosted Elasticsearch services emerged on the market. Some of them, like Sematext Cloud, expose a subset of Elasticsearch APIs in addition to providing enterprise-grade features for users, like security, alerting, anomaly detection, reporting, and so on.
