A closely related concept is a [data stream](/manage-data/data-store/index-types/data-streams.md). This index abstraction is optimized for append-only timestamped data, and is made up of hidden, auto-generated backing indices. If you’re working with timestamped data, we recommend the [Elastic Observability](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/observability/current) solution for additional tools and optimized content.
