Elastic Announces AI Ecosystem to Accelerate GenAI Application Development
Elasticsearch vector database integrations with industry-leading AI technology give developers best-in-class resources to expedite the deployment of RAG applications
INDIA, November 25,
2024—Elastic (NYSE: ESTC),
the Search AI Company, announced its AI ecosystem to help enterprise developers
accelerate building and deploying their Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
applications. The Elastic AI Ecosystem provides
developers with a curated, comprehensive set of AI technologies and tools
integrated with the Elasticsearch vector database, designed to speed
time-to-market, ROI delivery, and innovation.
“The enterprise
AI market is evolving at an accelerating rate, with new products and services
arriving daily. While this dizzying array of options expands the portfolio of
capabilities available to enterprises and their developers, it can
simultaneously slow them down by increasing the number of choices and
integrations that need to be made,” said Stephen
O’Grady, Principal Analyst with RedMonk. “One way to balance the need for
new capabilities with a streamlined developer experience is by thoughtfully
curating and integrating tools to maximize their collective capabilities. This
is what Elastic designed its AI Ecosystem to do.”
The Elastic AI
Ecosystem offers developers pre-built Elasticsearch vector database
integrations from a trusted network of industry-leading AI companies to deliver
seamless access to the critical components of GenAI applications across AI
models, cloud infrastructure, MLOps frameworks, data prep and ingestion
platforms, and AI security & operations.
These
integrations help developers:
- Deliver more relevant experiences through RAG
- Prepare and ingest data from multiple sources
- Experiment with and evaluate AI models
- Leverage GenAI development frameworks
- Observe and securely deploy AI applications
The Elastic AI
Ecosystem includes integrations with Alibaba
Cloud, Amazon
Web Services (AWS), Anthropic's
Claude, Cohere,
Confluent, Dataiku, DataRobot, Galileo, Google
Cloud, Hugging
Face, LangChain, LlamaIndex, Microsoft, Mistral
AI, NVIDIA, OpenAI, Protect
AI, RedHat, Vectorize, and Unstructured.
“Elasticsearch
is the most widely downloaded vector database in the market, and customers and
developers want to use it with the ecosystem's best models, platforms, and
frameworks to build compelling RAG applications,” said Steve Kearns, general manager of Search at Elastic. “With our
handpicked ecosystem of technology providers, we’re making it easier for
developers to leverage Elastic’s vector database and choose the best
combination of leading-edge technologies for their RAG applications. These
integrations will help developers test, iterate, and deliver their RAG
applications to production faster and improve the accuracy of their Gen AI
applications.”

What the Elastic AI Ecosystem is saying:
- "We’re
committed to making it easy for developers to build and deploy generative AI
applications,” said Stephen Orban, vice
president, Migrations, ISVs, & Marketplace, Google Cloud. “Through our
partnership with Elastic, enterprises and developers gain access to powerful
resources, streamlined frameworks, and robust governance tools – all powered by
Google Cloud’s AI-optimized infrastructure to deliver next-gen AI
capabilities.”
- “Combining
Hugging Face’s Inference Endpoints with Elastic’s retrieval relevance tools
helps users gain better insights and improve search functionality,” said Jeff Boudier, head of product at Hugging
Face. “With this integration, developers get a complete solution to
leverage the best open models, hosted on Hugging Face multi-cloud GPU
infrastructure, to build semantic search experiences in Elasticsearch.”
- “Our work with Elastic helps developers build
GenAI applications faster and more effectively,” said Harrison Chase, co-founder and CEO of LangChain. “Leveraging
LangGraph alongside Elasticsearch’s vector database, developers can create
high-impact agentic applications that streamline the path from development to
production.”
- “Elastic's
integrations with Microsoft Azure AI solutions enable their users to use
cutting-edge technology to build production-ready, AI applications for their
customers. This dynamic collaboration is a powerhouse of continuous innovation,
driving benefits for customers, Elastic, Microsoft, and the broader partner
ecosystem,” said Liliana Gonzalez,
senior director, Partner Development, at Microsoft.
- “Broadening our collaboration with Elastic strengthens users’ power of choice on a reliable, consistent AI platform,” said Steven Huels, vice president and general manager, AI Engineering at Red Hat. “We’re pleased to bring new support for RAG patterns, a critical first step for enterprises beginning their AI journeys and building trust within the AI marketplace.”
