Domain Classification & Tags
Performance Profile
#performance_profileTypical read and write throughput, payload size and processing latency.
Read Performance Profile
Throughput: Varies greatly, from 1,000 events/sec to 100,000+ events/sec depending on search complexity and infrastructure
Payload Size: Typically 100 bytes - 10 KB per event, but can be larger
Processing Latency: Sub-second for simple searches on small datasets, seconds to minutes for complex searches on large datasets
Write Performance Profile
Throughput: Varies greatly, from 100 GB/day to multiple TB/day (e.g., 10,000 to 100,000+ events/sec)
Payload Size: Typically 100 bytes - 10 KB per event, but can be larger
Processing Latency: Near real-time indexing, typically 1-5 seconds from ingestion to searchability
