Good feedback. Still iterating on the messaging – at this stage, we are still figuring out how to describe the product.
When you begin incorporating ES into your application, roughly you’d be thinking about:
1. Figuring out the structure of your data and translating that into ES’s mapping
2. Learning the query syntax (the ES docs assume you already know Lucene, not usually the case.)
3. Setup an ingest workflow and keeping your indexed data in sync
4. Securing your cluster if you want to hit ES directly from the browser/API client
5. Maintaining your cluster
Silota attempts to solve 3, 4, 5. Improving documentation helps with 2.
