Elasticsearch is a distributed, open-source search and analytics engine designed for scalability, reliability, and real-time performance. Built on Apache Lucene, it enables full-text search, structured search, and analytical capabilities across large volumes of data. Elasticsearch is widely used for applications like website search, log and event data analysis, and monitoring systems. It supports complex search queries, filtering, and aggregation, and it integrates seamlessly with other tools in the Elastic Stack, such as Logstash and Kibana, to provide a powerful solution for managing and analyzing data in real-time.
