Reduce management complexity and retain unlimited data to optimize troubleshooting and trend analysis. Connect to existing tools like Kibana and Trino for an efficient search experience for your telemetry and log data. [![Why Switch?](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/4020721/c7cdd4ab-ab90-42dc-89a6-81ebe71288f4.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/4020721/c7cdd4ab-ab90-42dc-89a6-81ebe71288f4) ## Scale at lower cost with a cloud-native architecture A serverless, stateless architecture is scalable, highly available, and provides better cost/performance in your enterprise search, as an alternative to Elasticsearch. Store logs and events on your existing cloud storage at a 5-20x smaller size. Small size requires less compute, allowing teams to experience from 50-80% savings at scale. [![Advantages of Serverless](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/4020721/f7bd00cc-0a73-420c-bcbd-9d8b12c08246.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/4020721/f7bd00cc-0a73-420c-bcbd-9d8b12c08246) ![efficient data store](https://www.chaossearch.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Cloud%20Data%20Platform.jpg?width=792&height=520&name=Cloud%20Data%20Platform.jpg) ![Elastic Stack Architecture](https://www.chaossearch.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Elastic%20Architecture.png?width=1240&height=448&name=Elastic%20Architecture.png) ## Reduce Elastic stack management complexity Ingest data and add or delete workloads at any time without having to repartition telemetry data. That means no sharding, field mappings/conflicts, or major upgrade reindexing. By using AWS S3 or GCS, there’s no need to store data in memory to achieve fast and reliable search results. Eliminate the cost vs. data retention tradeoffs you face with services like the Elastic stack or OpenSearch, and stop moving data. All data remains hot, with 11 9s of durability.
