Elastic's serverless still runs on indices and shards — they just manage them for you. Oodle's columnar architecture has none. Zero operational overhead, by design.

Customer Responsibilities — Simplified with Oodle
| Your Responsibility | How Oodle Empowers You |
|---|---|
| Ingestion & formatting | OpenTelemetry-native with auto-parsing. No custom formatters to maintain. |
| Classification & tagging | Auto-routing sends logs to the right indices based on patterns or labels. |
| Retention policies | One slider. No ILM, no tier migrations. Cold storage at $0.03/GB with instant search. |
| Data quality & compliance | Auto-detect PII/PCI at ingestion, route to restricted indices, or redact—even after the fact. |
| Your Responsibility | How Oodle Empowers You |
|---|---|
| Access controls | Index-level permissions from the UI. Restrict prod-payment-logs in clicks, not config files. |
| API key management | Generate, rotate, scope, and revoke keys from one dashboard. |
| SSO configuration | 10-minute setup with Okta, Google Workspace, or Azure AD. |
| Audit & compliance | Every query, every action logged. SOC2 Type 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR compliant out of the box. |
| Sensitive data handling | Pre-ingestion regex rules to filter, anonymize, or drop at the edge. Auto-detection flags PII/PCI and routes to restricted indices. Post-ingestion redaction if something slips through. |
| Your Responsibility | How Oodle Empowers You |
|---|---|
| Dashboards & visualization | Start with AI-generated dashboards—or skip them entirely. Just ask questions in natural language. |
| Alerting | Anomalies surface automatically before you go looking. |
| Query performance | No tuning needed. Blazing fast queries on any data, any time range — even long term. |
| Cost management | Real-time usage by service, team, or log pattern. Budget alerts notify you before overages, not after. |
