Build your search and analytics infrastructure with the data storage of your choice

Mach5 integrates natively with modern data sources like S3, Kafka, and Apache Iceberg, with more connectors on the way. By ingesting directly from where your data already lives, teams can avoid duplicating pipelines, reduce compute waste, and unlock faster access to logs at scale.

Make your search and analytics blazing fast in 3 steps

Select your integration

Choose your preferred source whether it 's Databricks, Snowflake, S3 or anything else. Mach5 connects to the tables or catalog and indexes your data using native formats and compute environments. For example, with Unity Catalog, Mach5 uses your Databricks clusters to index Delta tables without moving data.

Index without duplication

Mach5 builds lightweight indexes that live in low-cost cloud storage. Instead of copying data, our indexes reference your existing Parquet files - storing only what 's necessary to enable high-performance querying without doubling your storage costs.

Query with separation

Mach5 's stateless query layer runs on Kubernetes and serves search directly over data in object storage. This clean separation of compute and storage keeps performance high and costs predictable - no bloated clusters, no over-provisioned infra.

Profile

By adopting Mach5, Permiso streamlined its data infrastructure, allowing all raw and processed event data to be stored in a single, centralized event store. This enabled multiple security analytics use cases without the need to constantly rethink infrastructure.

Why Mach5 ?

Search, stream, and analyze - all in one system.

Mach5 combines full-text search, real-time analytics, and data transformation into a single platform. No need to stitch together multiple tools or maintain fragmented pipelines. Whether it's product analytics, threat detection, or observability - Mach5 delivers sub-second performance at scale.

  • • Eliminate silos with one platform across use cases
  • • Reduce engineering hours spent on maintaining brittle integrations

Cut infrastructure costs by over 50 % - without compromising speed.

Cut infrastructure costs by over 50% — without compromising speed. With storage and compute separated by design, you store data cheaply in S3 while compute scales only when needed. Mach5’s workload-aware query engine ensures performance remains fast, even over petabytes of data.

  • • No hot-warm-cold tiers, just infinite storage
  • • Pay only for what you query and process

Use your existing OpenSearch workflows - and go beyond.

Mach5 supports the full OpenSearch API suite — including full-text search, aggregations, bulk APIs, and dashboards — so your team can migrate or integrate instantly. But we don’t stop there: Mach5 also offers KQL-style querying for more powerful, ergonomic expressions of logic.

  • • Native support for OpenSearch Dashboards and Elastic DSL and bulk indexing
  • • Expand with Mach5 Query Language (inspired by Kusto)

No more query slowdowns or ingestion collisions.

Mach5 is built to handle high-throughput search and analytics without breaking under pressure. Whether you're querying in real-time or streaming from Kafka, Mach5 automatically scales and keeps every workload in its own lane.

  • • Isolate query and ingestion workloads with warehouse separation
  • • Optimize each dataset with row, columnar, or index-based storage — field by field
  • • Storage and compute separation keeps cost low, even at scale

Frequently Asked Questions

1

What is Mach5 Search?

Mach5 is a modern search and analytics platform optimized for security, observability, and product analytics. It combines high performance with ultra-low operational overhead and integrates seamlessly with the modern data ecosystem.

2

How is Mach5 different from Elasticsearch or OpenSearch?

While Mach5 offers full API compatibility with OpenSearch, it differs drastically in its implementation. Mach5 was designed using a cloud-native architecture from the ground up by separating storage and compute, building on low-cost object stores, autoscaling as a first-principle, and aggressive use of caching to achieve sub-second query performance. This results in a high-performance, low-cost system that is easy to manage.

3

Can I use Mach5 with my existing data in BigQuery, Snowflake, or Databricks?

Yes, Mach5 integrates with existing data stores like Iceberg tables, Snowflake, BigQuery, and Databricks, enabling federated queries without needing to move or duplicate your data.

4

Can I deploy Mach5 in my own cloud or on-prem?

Yes, Mach5 supports flexible deployment options including your own cloud environment (e.g. AWS, Azure, GCP) or on-premises infrastructure using Minio.
