"A11y and react, why is it important?"
I have a disability (missing my left arm from the elbow down). I have encountered a lot of discrimination throughout my 10 year career. I’m now at a point mentally in my career that I’m ready to talk about my experiences.
As the web is becoming a place for everyone including people with disabilities, It’s important for everyone to start thinking about a11y.
A11y is often overlooked or seen as a ‘nice to have’. With 20-25% of the population having disabilities (https://www.w3.org/WAI/business-case/) a11y is getting more and more important to be seen as a must have and included in a products MVP.

Alolita Sharma - Principal Technologist, Amazon Web Services (AWS)
"Performance diagnosis for your Elasticsearch cluster with PerfTop"
PerfTop is an open source NodeJS client used to model and troubleshoot the performance of Elasticsearch. PerfTop comes bundled with Open Distro For Elasticsearch. It provides pre-configured dashboards to analyze cluster, node, and shard performance. It also provides metrics for the operation of Elasticsearch clusters to help diagnose a variety of problems.

This talk will walk through the design and implementation of PerfTop and how it works with the Performance Analyzer in Open Distro. The talk will also walk through how to leverage PerfTop to analyze and troubleshoot cluster issues. Finally, we will identify ways you can contribute to this high impact open source project.

Hope to see you there!
