Subramani K - PeerSpot reviewer
The user interface framework lets us do custom development when needed.
So Elastic is basically clusters, right? Basically three, we can go with the basic cluster is a three note cluster. So the implementation is quite simple. It's not very complex. So we have to architect the solution in such a way that we have the right number of replicas and right number of charts and all those to hold the data. So basically we have to architect based on the data ingestion, how much data we are going to ingest in the cluster. So this setup is pretty simple, but we have to have the right inputs, right decisions in place before we even implement it.
