Elastic Meetup Recife - Maio

Porto Digital - NGPD (Núcleo de Gestão do Porto Digital)

Join us on **May 6th at 5 PM** at the **Elastic NYC office** for an exciting meetup about IoT, automation, cloud infrastructure, and more.

**Agenda**
5:00 pm - Doors open, say hi, grab some food
5:30 pm - Talk 1 by Nick Hehr
6:00 pm - Q&A with Nick
6:15 pm - break
6:30 pm - Talk 2 by Artem Nikitin
6:50 pm - Q&A with Artem Nikitin
7:00 pm - event wrap-up

**Talk 1:** "Physical world monitoring and automation with Elastic and Viam"

Traditional monitoring tools struggle to handle the volume, velocity, and variety of data generated by connected devices and machines. Using Elastic and Viam, we can build intelligent, automated systems that bridge the gap between the digital and physical world. Join us for a demonstration of gathering data from a fleet of sensors, visualizing it with Kibana, querying it using natural language, and creating alerting rules that trigger in real life.

Presented by **Nick Hehr**, Senior Dev Advocate at **Viam**.

**Talk 2:** How We're Building Elastic Cloud: Day-to-Day Stories from the Team Behind It

This talk won't focus on a shiny new Elasticsearch feature or the latest beautiful visualization in Kibana. Instead, I'll take you behind the scenes and share how we're building and operating Elastic Cloud services spanning 4 cloud providers, 58 regions, and over 20,000 instances. I'll cover the day-to-day work that keeps everything running smoothly: the challenges we face, the decisions we make, and the lessons we learn along the way.

Presented by **Artem Nikitin**, Principal Software Engineer I at **Elastic**
