Name: OpenSearch Project Berlin 2nd meetup
Start: 2025-06-18T16:30:00.000Z
Location: Automat Berlin Gmbh

What do you get when a search engine, a neural network, and a database walk into a bar?

You get **“Search & Generate”**—an evening at the intersection of **OpenSearch** and **Generative AI**. Whether you're trying to figure out what embeddings actually *are*, navigating the open-source search ecosystem, or building hybrid systems that answer with style and substance—this meetup is your jam.

This isn’t just another meetup. It’s **search meets story. Index meets imagination.** Expect a mix of hands-on insights, spicy takes, and good vibes. Come curious, leave caffeinated (or beerinated).

And of course - this is the **first ever** OpenSearch meetup in Israel. Other than great content, we will also leverage the event as a community building event to build and strenthen the OpenSearch community in Israel.

### **🗓️ Schedule:**

**6:00 PM**
**Welcome and Introduction**
Fueled by a passionate global community and a mission to stay open and awesome, OpenSearch is steadily growing. This brief introduction will explore the global community, the Israeli chapter, and how you can take part.

**6:15 PM – "OpenSearch for GenAI and RAG Use-Cases with real examples"**
A quick introduction to OpenSearch followed by a discussion of how it is used in Machine Learning and GenAI use-cases. We will talk about how Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) works in practice using OpenSearch to deliver context-rich answers at scale; but actually even go beyond that.
**🎤 Itamar Syn-Hershko, Big Data Boutique**

**6:45 PM – "WTF Are Embeddings?"**
**🎤 Liza Katz, BigData Boutique**
A friendly dive into the mathematical magic behind embeddings. What are they? Why do they matter? And which one to choose and how to generate them? Fun and educationl talk.

**7:15 PM – Drinks & Mingling**
Stick around for a drink, swap ideas, and maybe even sketch out your next side project on a napkin.

**💬 Who Should Attend?**

Search engineers, AI builders, devs with questions, data folks with answers, and anyone curious about what’s next for intelligent systems.

Versioning OpenSearch indexes is critical for maintaining data integrity, ensuring seamless updates, and enabling rollback capabilities in modern CICD pipelines. This presentation explores how Terraform and Python can be combined to manage the versioning of OpenSearch indexes effectively. By leveraging Terraform’s infrastructure-as-code capabilities and Python’s scripting flexibility, teams can automate the lifecycle management of indexes, ensuring consistent reintegration and streamlined operations. Key benefits include enhanced automation, improved traceability, and reduced manual overhead.

OpenSearch Project München meetup

Nordcloud Deutschland GmbH

Hi Everyone, we are very excited to announce our
OpenSearch Project Berlin 2nd meetup on **Wednesday June 18th**

**Agenda**
6:30pm Start (Drinks and snacks will be provided)

**6:45pm Nils Bandener**
**Software Architect**
**\# Security Monitoring of OpenSearch with OpenSearch**
One of the really cool aspects of OpenSearch is its ability to serve as a monitoring tool for itself. Let's have a look at how to piece together a monitoring solution for OpenSearch using components from the OpenSearch ecosystem such as Data Prepper and OpenSearch alerting. We will focus on security aspects like authentication and authorization.

Any software dealing with confidential data needs to have a security solution providing authentication and authorization. And any such security solution should have proper monitoring. OpenSearch is no exception in this regard.

In this presentation, we will look how to use components like Audit Logs, Data Prepper and OpenSearch Alerting to create a small, but effective security monitoring solution.

7:30pm Break (Drinks and Snacks)

**7:50pm TBD**

8:30pm Networking

9:00pm Close.
