Pulse - Optimize Elasticsearch and OpenSearch performance

> "In the world of search and analytics, your cluster's health isn't just about uptime—it's about performance, cost efficiency, and peace of mind. That's where Pulse comes in."

# What is Pulse? The Essential Guide to Smarter Elasticsearch & OpenSearch Operations

## 🚀 Cluster Monitoring That Actually Works (For Once)

Let's be honest—most monitoring tools show you problems *after* they've already ruined your morning coffee. Pulse flips this script with:

- **Proactive anomaly detection** (like a psychic for JVM heap issues)
- **Automated root cause analysis** that actually explains things in human language
- **Health assessments** that don't just scream "RED ALERT!" without context
