Preparing for ElasticSearch in production

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

I am wondering if it's a valid approach to start with a single-noded
ElasticSearch cluster and then scale out when needed?

This would of course involve a proper shard management.

Thanks,

Sure. If you don't care at the beginning of your production about replication (and failover), that's perfectly fine.

If you want the ability to do maintenance on your cluster without downtime,
it will require at least two nodes.
Even if you don't care about replication, and you don't expect your servers
to fail, you could consider software/hardware upgrades as a form of failure
tolerance.
If spawning an occasional node to join your cluster is easy (with cloud
virtualization for example), then it can possibly cover these maintenance
scenarios.
