We accept any type of data generated at the edge (Elastic Agent, Elastic Classic APM Agents, Beats, any OTel SDK…) and we process and route the data to several destinations.We are building strong backend solutions for ingesting observability data. Our core focus is on building a performant, reliable, scalable, secure and maintainable backend that fulfills product requirements. We take responsibility for what we build, and therefore are also responsible for keeping the system running, and ensuring reliable quality gates and safe deployment mechanisms, as well as assisting in support cases.
