Finding needles in ever increasing haystacks - Scalability with Elasticsearch
The Elastic Stack tackles modern-day observability & security demands of fast-paced searches in ever-increasing data volumes. Elasticsearch, sitting at the core of the Elastic Stack, is a leading distributed search and analytics engine.

In this talk, we give an overview of what makes Elasticsearch distributed, efficient and resilient both on bare-metal and on the cloud. This includes an overview of advancements made in recent years. You will learn how: (a) data is ingested, sharded and replicated, (b) searches and aggregations are distributed, (c) recovery works in the event of failures. We conclude with the serverless cloud vision of Elasticsearch for unparallel scalability.

Speaker: Iraklis Psaroudakis, Principal Software Engineer @ Elastic

Evolving from Traditional Monitoring to Business-Centric Observability with Quarkus and the Elastic Stack
In today's fast-paced business landscape, the shift from traditional monitoring to observability is imperative. Organizations must grasp not only system health but also business alignment, as neglecting this can result in serious business repercussions.

We address two intertwined challenges: maintaining traditional monitoring, which offers limited insights into business alignment, and neglecting business process monitoring, which can lead to disruptions and inefficiencies. A unified approach that integrates business data into observability is essential.

We leverage Quarkus and Elastic Search to transform traditional monitoring into business-centric observability, emphasizing the integration of business data. This empowers stakeholders with real-time insights into business process performance.

Embracing Quarkus and Elastic Search for observability is transformative. Organizations failing to evolve risk business setbacks, while adopters gain a competitive edge. This presentation is a call to action for businesses to embark on the journey of holistic observability.
