How to cut Elasticsearch log storage costs with LogsDB
Learn how to enable LogsDB index mode in Elasticsearch and measure real storage savings. We compare a standard index against a LogsDB index using Apache logs and show how much storage you can reclaim.
Elasticsearch over the years — how LogsDB cuts index size by up to 75% at no throughput cost
By default, Elasticsearch is optimized for retrieval, not storage. LogsDB changes that. Here's the layered architecture behind a 77% index size reduction.
