Our Services

Elasticsearch Consulting & Support

Every engagement is staffed by a senior Elasticsearch engineer — no juniors, no ticket queues.

01

Elasticsearch Architecture & Implementation

We design cluster topologies, sharding strategies, and index lifecycles sized for your actual write and query load — not a default template that runs fine in staging and falls over at production volume.

  • Index and shard sizing based on write throughput, query patterns, and node capacity
  • Index Lifecycle Management (ILM) policy design: hot-warm-cold-frozen tiering
  • Mapping and analyzer design that avoids reindex-heavy schema changes later
  • Security hardening: role-based access control, field- and document-level security, inter-node TLS
02

Performance Tuning & Optimization

Query latency creeping up, nodes running hot, or bulk indexing falling behind? We've diagnosed these patterns across clusters ranging from single-digit nodes to hundred-plus node deployments.

  • Shard rebalancing to eliminate hot-spotting and uneven node load
  • Query profiling and slow-log analysis to isolate expensive aggregations
  • JVM heap sizing and circuit breaker tuning to prevent OOM and long GC pauses
  • Bulk indexing throughput tuning: refresh interval, replica count, translog durability settings
03

Elasticsearch Migration & Modernization

Whether you're moving off Solr, onto Elastic Cloud, or out of Elastic Cloud because the pricing stopped making sense — we plan the cutover and execute it without a search outage.

  • Apache Solr to Elasticsearch index design and query DSL translation
  • Self-managed cluster to Elastic Cloud migration with zero-downtime reindex-from-remote
  • Cost-driven Elastic Cloud exits to self-managed clusters or OpenSearch
  • Alias-based cutover strategy for breaking mapping changes without downtime
04

Managed Elasticsearch Operations

Ongoing operational coverage for clusters that can't afford surprise downtime — with a named engineer who already knows your topology when something breaks.

  • 24/7 cluster monitoring: shard allocation, disk watermark thresholds, node health
  • Snapshot Lifecycle Management (SLM) configuration and disaster recovery testing
  • Version upgrade planning across major Elasticsearch releases
  • Kibana and observability stack (APM, Logs, Metrics) integration and maintenance
05

Elasticsearch Health Check & Assessment

A structured audit of your cluster's actual state — not a checklist, a prioritized list of what will bite you first if left alone.

  • Cluster health audit: shard allocation, replication factor, node role balance
  • Security posture review: RBAC configuration, API key usage, network exposure
  • Mapping and index template review for schema drift and field explosion risk
  • Written report with prioritized remediation steps, ranked by production risk

How Our Support Actually Works

Beyond SLAs — the model behind senior-only, zero-cold-start expert access.

Named Engineers on Your Account

Every ticket is handled by a senior SME assigned to your account — not a pool of anonymous agents. Zero cold-start. No re-explaining your environment.

Live Escalation on Any Ticket

Any ticket can be escalated to a live session with your named engineer via calendar booking. No gatekeeping, no approval required — direct access, always.

Proactive Risk Mitigation

Quarterly health checks on your deployment plus shared intelligence from 50+ support customers — we surface risks before they reach production.

Critical Bug & CVE Intelligence

Proactive alerts on critical bugs and CVEs affecting your exact version, with version compliance monitoring so you're never caught off guard.

Licensing & Security Edge

Dedicated support for vendor license negotiations and compliance audits, plus bi-annual security reviews focused on your specific deployment.

Direct Product Roadmap Access

As the only vendor directly connected to the core engineering teams, AceMQ delivers exclusive early insights, strategic upgrade planning, and curated release summaries — tailored to your environment.

49+ Platforms Supported

We Support Your Entire Tech Stack

Elasticsearch rarely fails in isolation. AceMQ covers the full surrounding infrastructure — so one team owns the whole path instead of pointing at each other.

FAQs

Elasticsearch Questions Answered

Common questions about Elasticsearch consulting, support, and migrations.

Our Elasticsearch consulting covers cluster architecture and sharding design, ILM policy design, mapping and analyzer strategy, security hardening, performance tuning, and migration planning. Every engagement is staffed by a named senior engineer with production Elasticsearch experience across self-managed and Elastic Cloud deployments.

Yes, we support Elastic Cloud and self-managed Elasticsearch clusters directly. If you're running OpenSearch — the Apache 2.0 fork — we cover that on a dedicated OpenSearch consulting track, since the two platforms have diverged in security plugin architecture and lifecycle management tooling. If you're evaluating a move between them, we help you make that call.

Yes — this is one of the most common incidents we see. It's usually caused by shard allocation rules, disk watermark flood-stage settings blocking replica assignment, or awareness attributes preventing rebalancing. We start with the shard allocation explain output to isolate the exact blocker rather than guessing.

Yes. We translate Solr schema definitions into Elasticsearch mappings, rebuild query logic from Solr query syntax into the Elasticsearch Query DSL, and validate relevance scoring parity before cutover so your search results don't quietly get worse in production.

We use an alias-based reindex strategy: build the new index under a new name with the corrected mapping, backfill data with the reindex API, validate against production traffic in parallel, then atomically swap the alias. Your application never points directly at a physical index, so the swap is invisible to consumers.

A structured review of shard allocation and replication, node role balance, ILM policy coverage, mapping and index template drift, and security configuration. We deliver a written report with findings ranked by production risk, not a generic scorecard. Most teams run this quarterly or after a major version upgrade.
