Talks:
Streamlining integration development for Elastic
Elastic gives the flexibility to use a variety of data ingestion methods. Extending Elastic’s ingestion methods by using integrations, is a key feature of Elastic Stack to provide additional functionality. But what tools are provided to the integration developers in order to be more productive regarding the creation of such integrations? And how do we approach the key factors of automation and devops concepts as part of the development?
In this session we will cover the following:

• What is an Elastic Integration
• Elastic-package tool: How to build a new integration
• How Elastic Agent leverages the integrations to enable new data inputs
• Make your builds alive: GitOps example functionality
• From integrations’ development to advanced template building to match dynamic environments (Kubernetes) needs

Speakers: Andreas Gkizas: Principal Software Engineer @ Elastic | Christos Markou: Senior Software Engineer @ Elastic

Calm development workflows for a collaborative developer experience
Have you ever noticed how much time you spend troubleshooting your local development environment before you can actually begin writing code? Software engineers spend a large amount of their time per week managing their local development environment or waiting for builds and tests to complete. Since we've moved most creative workflows to the cloud, including processes like automated continuous integration and continuous deployment, how can we address the 'works on my machine' issue?
In this talk we will explore the topic of cloud development environments (CDEs) and how to remove friction from the developer experience through increasing velocity, collaboration, and control.

Speakers: Pauline Narvas: Head of Community @ Gitpod | George Tsiolis: Senior Product Designer @ Gitpod
