Chapter 13: Architecting Workloads on the Elastic Stack
Over the last 12 chapters, this book has primarily focused on getting started with Elastic Stack. We looked at each core component of Elastic Stack in detail and understood how they all come together to solve a range of data-related use cases. We also looked at how Elastic Stack can be leveraged to solve turnkey solutions in search, observability, and security use cases.
The focus of this book was on giving you the best possible introduction and starting point for your journey on the stack. We also spent time understanding and contextualizing the domains that we were designing our solutions for. The final aspect of getting started with Elastic Stack is understanding how to architect and design your workloads for long-term success; it is important to ensure the solution you put in place evolves with your use cases, is easy to operate and maintain, and is efficient and fit for purpose, given the nature of the workload.
