Agenda

10:30 AM: Registration

11:00 AM: Unlocking the potential of RAG with Elastic's Serverless RAG Playground by Pratik Rana

In this session, we'll explore how Elastic's RAG Playground empowers developers to experiment and build advanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) applications using Elasticsearch. We'll discuss key features such as hybrid search, vector search, and seamless integration with popular language models. Key takeaways include:A/B testing language models (OpenAI, Anthropic)

Combining BM25 and vector search for better results
Grounding LLMs with your own data
Integrating code into applications with LangChain and embedding models
Join us to unlock new ways to enhance your AI workflows!

12:00 PM: Elasticsearch - A database or Search Engine??- Akhil Garg

Overview of Elasticsearch and demystifying long running debate DB vs Search Engine.

12:45 pm : Elastic universal profiling with eBPF by Ashish Tiwari

In this talk we will see how Universal Profiling profiles every line of code running on the machine –– including not only your application code but the kernel and third-party libraries as well. By capturing only the necessary data in an unobtrusive manner it is able to run continuously on production systems with no noticeable impact (less than 1% CPU overhead)! No intrusive code changes or instrumentation needed.

01:00 PM - Roundtable discussion

01:30 PM - Lunch and Networking

Pratik Rana- Senior Technical Support Engineer - Elastic

Pratik(@pratikrana23 ) is a Senior Technical Support Engineer here at Elastic working alongside large-scale customers to use the Elasticsearch Relevance Engine (ESRE) and large language models (LLMs) for advanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) applications. Integrate Elasticsearch’s storage, processing, and search with LLMs. Key areas include understanding ESRE, efficient data retrieval, seamless application integration, optimizing full-text and semantic search, developing generative AI and RAG applications, and leveraging the Elastic AI Assistant for enhanced performance.

Ashish Tiwari - Elastic (DevRel, India)

Started journey with Software Engineer. Throughout the journey, I got the opportunity to work with great minds on various stacks, databases & programming languages. Worked with various types of use cases and contributed to solutions.

I have been wearing multiple hats as a startup guy so got a chance to work on system design, scaling, system architect, coding, maintenance, customer support & tickets, etc. It was not just tech but also marketing & Community engagement.

I am an Open Source fan & Love to contribute to the community. I like to speak about tech.
