What is Elasticsearch?

Elasticsearch; It is an enterprise-level search engine with open source code, widely distributed and easily scalable features using the Lucene infrastructure developed in Java. Elasticsearch, which is preferred by companies with large data processing capacities (Verizon, Netflix, Symantec, Facebook, etc.), is preferred due to its high performance structure in operations such as data search, queries, content search and recommendations. Accessible through a comprehensive and detailed API, Elasticsearch can perform your searches quickly and easily thanks to its data discovery feature.
