> Organizations in financial services, insurance, healthcare, and other regulated industries must meet stringent data residency, privacy, and regulatory requirements while maintaining full visibility into their systems. This becomes challenging when logs need to remain at rest in customers’ environments or specific regions, hindering teams’ ability to attain seamless observability and insight. To help our customers meet these requirements without sacrificing visibility or introducing multiple logging tools, we are pleased to announce that Quickwit—a popular open source distributed search engine—is joining Datadog.
> What on earth? Elastic is a multi-billion dollar company. They are no indie startup, scrappy underdog nor are they victims here.
> AWS took the high road during this fiasco despite Elastic's mudslinging and flailing about.
They didn't start as a multi-billion dollar company. In fact, AWS started shipping their Elasticsearch Service in 2015. Public records show that Elastic's annual revenue in 12 months after their IPO in 2018 was ~200m with <1000 employees.
I'd argue that Elastic is a multi-billion dollar company _in spite_ of AWS.
