		jrockway on Jan 21, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: AWS announces forks of Elasticsearch and Kibana This is an embarrassing anecdote, but I thought I'd share. I started using Elasticsearch because it showed up in the AWS console along with all the other "Elastic" things ("Elastic Compute Cloud") and I figured it was a thing they made themselves. Only later on in the process did I realize that there was a company called Elastic that named it. Very unfortunate. Probably a lesson about naming your company after a common English word.

The company Elastic was created 2 years after the release of ElasticSearch.

And 6 years after the release of Elastic Compute Cloud.
