Opster offers solutions that ensure peak Elasticsearch performance. Opster has a wide range of products and services that solve the most complex Elasticsearch problems and include professional services and production support by a team of elite experts.

No, Opster’s Elasticsearch platform and our support team allow you to operate ES self-hosted while enabling you to ensure smooth and optimized operations. Opster can also be used in addition to AWS or Elastic managed services.

Managed services have several benefits and are great for small scale or non-mission critical use cases. However, support is limited and you’re often left to solve issues and optimize performance on your own.

Working with Opster will afford you the same benefits you would get with a managed service. Beyond that, Opster’s platform optimizes performance and automates operations, while the included proactive maintenance and our professional services both serve to prevent issues and ensure smooth Elasticsearch operation.

Opster is perfect for those who are self-hosting their Elasticsearch and want an end-to-end solution for Elasticsearch. With Opster, users benefit from constant performance optimization, issue prevention and the support of elite personnel. 

With the platform and our expert support team you’ll optimize search performance, guarantee high availability, automate maintenance and ensure peak performance in Elasticsearch, both for on-prem and cloud deployments.

Opster is aimed for those running mission-critical deployments. If you have a small installation but performance is imperative for you, Opster is definitely worth it for you. Talk to us.
