Digging Deeper into Full-Text Search & Observability with Elastic APM

Digging Deeper into Full-Text Search with Elasticsearch (Alexander Reelsen, Elastic)

This presentation covers a few search features within Elasticsearch, that you merely need when using Elasticsearch as a ecommerce or person/address search engine, covering

• range_, date_nanos, search-as-you-type, flattened, vector data types and queries
• Field collapsing, top hits, distance feature queries
• Phonetic search
• Enrich and Dissect processors
• Index Lifecycle Management

Observability with Elastic APM (Marek Hornák, ableneo.com)

With the growing popularity of microservice architecture, there is also the growing need for their monitoring, especially in the production environment. The Elastic APM is the right tool for such task as it supports distributed tracing and near real-time monitoring without performance impact on monitored applications. Additionally, the cooperation with the rest of the Elastic Stack might bring advantage over similar tools.
During the talk, we will introduce the Elastic APM and make a hands-on demonstration using Node.js and Java clients to show off its abilities.
