In this episode of You Know for Search, host Steve Mazak is joined by Uri Cohen, head of Elastic’s platform product team, to discuss Elastic’s new serverless deployment option. They cover how serverless eliminates the need to manage nodes, sizing, upgrades, or sharding by using a stateless architecture that separates storage from compute. This re-architecture boosts performance—nearly doubling indexing throughput—and introduces features like adjustable “search power” for cost vs. speed tradeoffs, automatic weekly upgrades, and instant access to the latest capabilities like Lucene 10. Designed for simplicity and scalability, serverless is positioned as the preferred way for most users to run Elastic in the cloud.
