Elasticsearch

Elasticsearch is a distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine capable of solving a growing number of use cases. It allows you to store, search, and analyze large volumes of data quickly and in near real time. It is commonly used for full-text search, log analytics, security analytics, and as a vector database for AI applications.
