Understanding Data Architecture in Dynatrace Managed: How is indexing handled?

Hi everyone,

I have a quick architectural question regarding Dynatrace Managed.

I know that Dynatrace SaaS leverages Grail for a schema-less/index-less architecture. However, since Dynatrace Managed traditionally runs on Elasticsearch and Cassandra, I want to better understand how data handling works under the hood here.

  • How does Dynatrace Managed achieve high-speed, flexible queries on historical data (like Traces and RUM) without the typical heavy indexing overhead and storage bloom seen in traditional index-based tools?

  • Are there any automated data optimization patterns or "schema-on-read" behaviors happening even within the Elastic/Cassandra layer?

Just trying to deeply understand the underlying philosophy for our Managed deployment.

Thanks in advance for your insights.

BR,

Aboud
