It uses schema-less ingestion, high compression, and piped query languages (APL and MPL) to keep data always queryable without managing infrastructure. Pricing is usage-based with a monthly platform fee, automatic volume discounts, and a permanent free tier.","category":"Analytics","decision_record":{"best_for":"Teams whose log and event volumes have outgrown terabyte-scale tooling, who need long retention without hot/cold tiers, or who want an incremental, non-rip-and-replace path away from Splunk.
