Elastic, the company behind the ELK stack, which combines Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana, has acquired Found, an Elasticsearch SaaS provider with more than 500 customers across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. As part of the acquisition, the Found team and its technology will become part of Elastic effective immediately.
Found provides hosted and fully-managed Elasticsearch clusters with technology that automates critical processes such as installation, configuration, maintenance, backup, and high-availability, enabling developers to integrate a fast, powerful search engine into their database, website or app in a matter of minutes.
In addition, Found has created a turnkey process to scale Elasticsearch clusters up or down at any time and without any downtime, thus allowing developers to focus on building great applications without worrying about the complexities and small intricacies of dev operations. Found's Elasticsearch as a Service offering is allowing companies like Docker, Gild, HotelTonight, Instacart, and the New York Public Library to bring their cloud applications to market faster than ever before.
"Since day one our aim has been to create the most reliable, flexible and scalable hosted Elasticsearch solution in the market," said Morten Ingebrigtsen, CEO of Found. "Joining the Elastic team will allow us to accelerate development of new features and products for our customers, as well as expand to the enterprise more rapidly."
As part of the acquisition, Found will be rebranded to Found by Elastic, and will remain available for purchase with the same pricing and features.
