+^1^ $$$footnote-1$$$ In {{serverless-short}}, Elastic ensures data durability by storing indexed data in an [object store](https://www.elastic.co/blog/elastic-serverless-architecture) rather than local replicas. Writes are batched every 200ms to ensure durability while optimizing performance and cost, which means that single-document indexing can appear slower than in {{ech}}. However, this design makes {{serverless-short}} more scalable and resilient to high indexing loads without relying on in-cluster replication for fault tolerance.
