I'm curious about their business model. It seems like they are a good template for other open source platforms, assuming they are generating revenue and/or profitable.
Does Elastic generate most of their revenue through hosting, support, services, or something else?
They made a few proprietary apps that support/enhance/empower elasticsearch (marvel - a monitoring/operations dashboard/control panel, shield - security, ACL, authentication, encryption (for compliance) and so on, and watcher - alerting for your data, so you can define queries and thresholds and get alerts, call a webhook, send an email, save it into an index), and you get them bundled with their subscription.
So I'd say support and they have just gotten started with the hosted thing. (Which is probably great for a lot of things, big-ish data, full text search for not so latency sensitive applications - such as traditional websites, but we shall see.)
