Technologies — Databases & storage

Elasticsearch & OpenSearch cluster optimization

We tune Elasticsearch and OpenSearch clusters for fast, relevant search, stable JVM heaps and lower storage costs.

Core capabilities

Why we build with Elasticsearch & OpenSearch

01

Shard allocation & JVM heap tuning

Fixing unassigned shards and tuning heap and garbage-collection settings to prevent cluster freezes.

02

Index lifecycle management (ILM)

Automated hot-warm-cold tiering that moves ageing logs and metrics to cheaper storage.

03

Search relevance tuning

Custom tokenizers, edge n-grams, fuzzy matching and BM25 score tuning for natural search.

Use cases

Where Elasticsearch & OpenSearch fits

Enterprise full-text search

Searching large collections of unstructured PDFs, tickets and customer documents with typo tolerance.

Centralized log aggregation

High-volume application logs and audit events with real-time Kibana or OpenSearch Dashboards views.

How we staff it

Elasticsearch & OpenSearch engineers you interview first

Seniority and experience are agreed in the proposal, and you interview every engineer before they start.

Working-hours overlap is agreed for each engagement and written into the statement of work — the shared window, who shifts hours, and how handoffs work outside it.

Technical FAQs

Frequently asked engineering questions

Common culprits are excessive small shards, high-cardinality aggregations, or poorly tuned fielddata. We restructure indexes and optimize mappings.

Usually, yes. OpenSearch forked from Elasticsearch 7.10, so indices from 7.10 and earlier can move by snapshot and restore; newer versions need reindexing or a Logstash pipeline, and client libraries may need changes.
