Elastic Stuttgart Resurrection MeetUp - with Elastic and mimacom

On November 13, 2018 we plan to revive the Elastic Usergroup Stuttgart with a MeetUp event at Experinate, downtown Stuttgart. The MeetUp will be sponsored by mimacom, food and drinks will be provided and the event is free.

The first talk will be held by Philipp Krenn, Developer Advocate at Elastic.

# Elasticsearch (R)Evolution — You Know, for Search… Elasticsearch is a distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine built on top of Apache Lucene. After the initial release in 2010 it has become the most widely used full-text search engine, but it is not stopping there.
The revolution happened and now it is time for evolution. We dive into the following questions:

• How did leniency help the initial adoption, but why and how do we lean more on strictness today?
• How can upgrades be improved to avoid any downtime even when changing major versions?
• How can new resiliency features improve recovery scenarios and add totally new features?
• Why are types finally disappearing and how are we are trying to avoid the upgrade pain as much as possible?
• What are examples for some clever performance improvements?
• How can you shrink and (finally) split shards in a highly efficient way?
  Attendees learn both about new and upcoming features as well as the motivation and engineering challenges behind them.

The second talk will be held by Vinh Nguyen from mimacom

# From Zero to Hero – Best Case with Elasticsearch

Vinh is an freshly-baked elastic certified Engineer and works as an IT professional for the most time for the finance sector in Switzerland. He loves Open Source. He does evaluate technology, concepts and best practices. Mostly he enables and empower the application developers to accomplish their missions. At the upcoming Meet Up, Vinh will show you solution-oriented examples with elasticsearch and how easy it is to accomplish first results. In general why the elastic stack is a risk-less and pain-free choice for many use cases.

*Step 1 - Digitalization: Bring your data into Elasticsearch. How to achieve the first results as quick and simple as possible. How to integrate and connect existing or legacy IT systems.
*Step 2 - Business Analytics: You brought data with the first step into Elasticsearch. Now harness your data and gain valuable insights.
*Step 3 - Monitoring: Your data is live! See how you can prevent bottlenecks, deadlines and utilize the elastic stack for optimization problems.

He will show you interactive demo´s from real life use cases in the field. Be curious about his talk!

Please reach out to me or leave a comment in case you have ideas, requests, specific items you'd like to see presented or discussed.

We look forward to welcoming many of you at the MeetUp and have a great, informative and social evening together with the Elastic Community in the Stuttgart area.
