FalconSeek is the cloud-native kernel provided by the engine-enhanced edition of Alibaba Cloud Elasticsearch. Built on Alibaba's proprietary Havenask engine, FalconSeek replaces some underlying components with a C++-based columnar memory model and a fully asynchronous execution framework. FalconSeek remains highly compatible with the Elasticsearch ecosystem.

Search workloads with strict retrieval latency and throughput requirements
Version requirements
FalconSeek requires Elasticsearch 8.17.0 or 9.4.0.
Billing
FalconSeek is currently free of charge, and enabling it incurs no additional billing items. Future billing policies are subject to official Alibaba Cloud announcements.
