Elastic, Confluent & ODSC Community Meetup

Join us for an exciting meetup where we explore how search has evolved beyond traditional TF/IDF into the world of machine learning and models.
Plus, don’t miss our live demo—We’ll show how quickly you can get started with search, and make changes on the fly to adapt to different needs.

Please RSVP if you plan on attending. Registration closes on Tuesday, March 5th, so we can provide a list of names to building security.

Date and Time:
Wednesday, March 6th, from 6:00-8:00 pm EDT
Location:
BasisTech office, 1070 Broadway Somerville, MA 02144-2078

Agenda:

• 6:00 pm: Doors open; say hi, grab a seat, and eat some food.
• 6:15 pm: Real-Time Semantics: Boosting Data Quality & Search with Kafka, Flink & Elasticsearch, by Zachary Hamilton, Senior Solutions Engineer, Confluent
• 6:45 pm: do MORE with stateLESS Elasticsearch, by AJ Meyers, Principal Solutions Architect at Elastic
• 7:15-7:30 pm: Networking & refreshments

Talk Abstracts:
How would you build Elasticsearch if it was started in 2024? Decouple compute and storage, outsource the persistence to a blob store like S3, dynamically scale up and down, have the right defaults, and a clear path for developers. This is what we have done!
In this talk, learn how we have redesigned Elasticsearch to do more with a stateless architecture that can run hot queries on cold storage. And see how you can get started with it today.
