Elastic
Elastic builds a search and AI platform, including the open source Elastic Stack, used for enterprise search, observability and security analytics by over 50% of the Fortune 500.
Elastic, founded in 2012, is a search and artificial intelligence company that provides a platform combining search with AI, helping organisations find answers in real time across all their data at scale. The company serves more than 50% of the Fortune 500. It began as a small team of developers and has since grown into a distributed organisation of employees, known as "Elasticians", spread across more than 30 countries.
The company's technical work spans search technology, artificial intelligence, observability, security analytics, logs management and metrics analysis. Its Elastic Stack - comprising Elasticsearch, Kibana, Beats and Logstash - forms the foundation for enterprise search, logs management, metrics analysis and security analytics. Elasticsearch, the open source search and analytics engine at the core of the stack, was originally created by Shay Banon; Kibana provides visualisation and exploration, Beats are lightweight data shippers, and Logstash handles data processing pipelines.
Elastic is built on open source software and states a belief that the best products emerge from transparent, collaborative development. Its engineering culture is distributed and remote-friendly, with teams working across more than 30 countries.
