Pick the alternative you're evaluating against — each page digs into cost, architecture, and operations tradeoffs.
Same OpenSearch-compatible API, 90% lower TCO. Decouple compute from storage and stop over-provisioning for peak ingest.
A managed service without the managed-service markup. Keep data in your VPC and pay your cloud bill, not a license.
Free software, expensive clusters. See why self-hosted OpenSearch gets costly at scale and how KalDB's disaggregated design avoids it.
No per-GB ingestion fees, no vendor cloud lock-in, no surprise bills. Full data sovereignty on your own infrastructure.
Building your own log store on Lucene, Kafka, and S3 is harder than it looks. Get the architecture Slack and Airbnb already run — without the multi-year build.
