About us
We’re delighted to have you join the Elastic global community!
This group is for anyone interested in making data usable in real-time and at scale for use cases like security, observability, enterprise search, and many more, using our Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash, and Beats products (https://www.elastic.co/products/).
Speak at a meetup:
The Community wants to hear from you! Present about your Elastic Stack stories, be it a 5-15 minute lightning talk or a detailed 25-45 minute technical presentation with Q&A. Our Speaker Guide is full of tips on giving a stellar presentation. If you’re interested, send us an email at meetups@elastic.co.

💭 Talk Details:
Telemetry’s Long Way Home: A Kubernetes Odyssey with Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, and Elastic Eric Mustin (Elastic)
Like Odysseus trying to find his way home, Kubernetes telemetry must navigate a difficult journey through dynamic workloads, short-lived infrastructure, overlapping tools, dropped signals, and unexpected operational monsters.This talk explores how Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, and Elastic can work together to give Kubernetes metrics, logs, and traces a reliable path home. We’ll look at practical collection architectures, Prometheus-native metrics, OpenTelemetry processing and routing, and how Elastic can bring the resulting signals together. Along the way, we’ll discuss resiliency, duplication, architectural tradeoffs, and how to avoid getting lost at sea in an increasingly complex observability ecosystem.
Elasticsearch and Agentic Ops: A Perfect Match - Michael Guarino (Plural)
This talk discusses the ways we've used Elasticsearch at Plural to implement e2e agentic SRE workflows. Examples include using agents to manage your ES clusters themselves, to leveraging it as a low cost log storage engine for deep application root cause analysis, enabling you to reduce observability cost without sacrificing developer experience while maintaining realistic operational total cost of ownership.60 attendees
Superplane & Elastic: AI Agents That Build & Ship Code
Elastic NYC office, 1250 Broadway, New York, NY, USSoftware factories are here. AI agents write code, open PRs, run tests, deploy to production, and respond to incidents - all without waiting for a human to click a button.
Join SuperPlane and Elastic for an evening where engineering leaders, platform teams, and SREs explore what it actually takes to run a software factory: how agents ship code, how Elastic monitors what happens in production, and how SuperPlane orchestrates the full loop from commit → deploy to incident to fix. SuperPlane is the agent orchestrator that turns your tools into a software factory. Elastic is the observability engine that tells you what's happening inside it.
This is an unconference, you bring the topics, we bring the structure (and drinks). Come with opinions about how far you'd let agents go.
📅 Date: Thursday, September 17th from 6:00-9:00 PM
📍 Location: Elastic NYC Office
1250 Broadway, Floor 16, Training Room
New York, NY 10001Some topics we would discuss:
- How much autonomy should agents have in production?
- Building the feedback loop: deploy → observe → respond → learn
- Agents that fix what agents broke - is that a loop or a spiral?
- What does "human in the loop" actually mean when agents ship 10x faster?
- Observability as the control plane for your software factory
- From Kibana alert to automated rollback - what's your threshold?
- The trust problem: when do you stop reviewing agent PRs?
Format:
- Topics proposed by attendees at the beginning
- Sessions run in small groups (~5-7 people)
- 30 minutes of facilitated discussion per session
- Open participation and movement between sessions encouraged

About SuperPlane
SuperPlane Software Factory platform that transforms software delivery from a collection of manual tasks into an orchestrated, AI-powered production system. It coordinates AI agents, developers, infrastructure, and operational tools to build, test, deploy, and maintain software with speed, consistency, and governance.About Elastic
Elastic is the observability stack behind high-velocity engineering teams. With Elasticsearch, Kibana, and the rest of Elastic Stack, engineers, SREs and platform engineers get real-time visibility into logs, metrics, traces, and security events correlated in one place, not scattered across tools. As release cadence increases with the adoption of software factories, Elastic keeps you in control of what's running and why.4 attendees
