ElasticSearch needs no introduction to readers of this blog or really anyone active in the search “space.”
It was encouraging to hear that after years of building an ever increasingly useful product, that ElasticSearch has matured into a company.
With all the warm fuzzies that support contracts and such bring.
Sounds like they will demonstrate that the open source and commercial worlds aren’t, you know, incompatible.
It helps that they have a good product in which they have confidence and not a product that their PR/Sales department is pushing as a “good” product. The fear of someone “finding out” would make you real defensive in the latter case.
Looking forward to good fortune for ElasticSearch, its founders and anyone who wants to follow a similar model.
