Wasted disk in search indexes — adaptive postings-list compression

Wasted disk in search indexes — adaptive postings-list compression targets a $12.0B = 500k companies running search/logging clusters x $24K ACV for storage & search-infra optimization total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 12% (search & observability/infra optimization consolidated market).

Key trends driving demand: Exploding telemetry volumes -- SaaS logs, metrics, and traces are growing exponentially, making storage optimization urgent.; Managed search consolidation -- more workloads run on Elastic/OpenSearch managed services, simplifying distribution of optimizers.; ML-enabled systems -- inexpensive inference enables per-index adaptive decisions previously too costly.; Tiered/cold storage adoption -- lifecycle policies are standard, creating hooks for compression-aware ILM actions..
