Think of it as an ELK stack alternative -- delivered as a managed service or deployed via the customer's Virtual Private Cloud -- without the cost, complexity, limitations, and instability of today's ELK stack.At the heart of the ChaosSearch platform is the innovative Chaos Refinery, which allows IT to change data schemas and allow for differing views into the underlying data, without the difficult process of re-indexing and re-loading the data. This unique approach allows different tools and different use cases while accessing the data within the massive underlying data lake. So while ChaosSearch is ideal for log data management today, Walsh explained that the Platform will support other tools and use cases down the road. Later this year, ChaosSearch will introduce support for SQL, which will enable users to conduct business intelligence analyses using tools like Looker and Tableau. "Our refinery allows clients to give the right people access to the right data at the appropriate time, using the tools they already use," comments Walsh.Regardless of the use case, with ChaosSearch, customers get instant elasticity, unlimited scale and data retention, and secure data access while saving significant amounts of money. This value proposition is proven time and again by ChaosSearch customers, such as HubSpot. HubSpot had challenges keeping up with the scale and volume of their Cloudflare logs which are a critical part of preventing and mitigating denial of service (DDoS) cyberattacks. The massive daily volume of these logs, which total over 20 TB per day, were extremely difficult and expensive to ingest and use within their sprawling ELK environment. Because of the volume and expense, Hubspot was forced to keep only 5 days of Cloudflare logs, severely limiting their ability to analyze historical data. When they switched to ChaosSearch, they were immediately able to move to 90 days of log data retention. Since deployment, they've solved the instability challenges and eliminated the outages that were once common. Moreover, they've saved over $2.8 million and counting just from the single Cloudflare use case. On the strength of their initial success with ChaosSearch, HubSpot quickly added other use cases, keeping all of their data in one easily searchable, unified data lake -- all with unlimited scale and as much retention as they want.Unsurprisingly, ChaosSearch's pricing is disruptive. For its log analytics managed service, which is priced at 70 cents per indexed gigabyte, customers routinely save up to 80% compared to their legacy systems. Walsh says, "With ChaosSearch, companies get insights at scale while achieving the true promise of cloud data lake economics." We enable our clients to know better by making their data fully and easily searchable and accessible. Our mission is to vastly reduce the amount of time, cost, and complexity required to get valuable insights at scale
