Inside OpenSearch: search, observability & real-world architectures
**Nasce la community OpenSearch Project Roma: il primo meetup da non perdere.**
Vogliamo creare uno spazio in cui developer, data engineer, platform engineer, SRE, architect e practitioner possano incontrarsi, condividere casi reali, discutere approcci adottati sul campo e costruire confronto attorno a tecnologie usate in contesti complessi.
Pur mantenendo questo taglio, l’evento può risultare interessante anche per chi desidera approfondire l’evoluzione di queste tecnologie e i loro scenari applicativi.
Durante la serata parleremo dell’evoluzione di OpenSearch e di come viene utilizzato per costruire sistemi di ricerca, analytics e osservabilità su larga scala.
I talk offriranno uno sguardo tecnico su architetture, esperienze sul campo e scenari applicativi concreti.
Siamo inoltre **community partner di Codemotion Roma**, saremo anche in conference (abbiamo anche **ticket scontati per la community**: **scrivici per maggiori dettagli**)
Agenda
**18:30 – 18:45** — Arrivo e check-in
**18:45 – 19:15** — **Inside OpenSearch: roadmap, AI e le prossime evoluzioni** (Alessandro Fortunati)
**19:15 – 19:45** — **Group log management & observability: architetture, migrazione e strategie reali** (Fabio Marzotti)
**19:45 – 20:00** — **Community slot**
**20:00 – 20:30** — **Networking & Q&A**
**20:30** — Fine evento
**Inside OpenSearch: roadmap, AI e le prossime evoluzioni**
OpenSearch è oggi una delle piattaforme open source più dinamiche per la gestione e l’analisi dei dati su larga scala. In questo talk di apertura della community OpenSearch a Roma esploreremo come il progetto stia evolvendo grazie al contributo della community globale e a una roadmap pubblica che ne guida lo sviluppo.
Partiremo dalle fondamenta della piattaforma — search, analytics e observability — per analizzare alcune delle principali direttrici di innovazione: miglioramenti di performance e scalabilità, evoluzione della vector search e integrazioni sempre più profonde con l’AI generativa.
Nel contesto romano, dove organizzazioni pubbliche, grandi infrastrutture e aziende tecnologiche gestiscono enormi volumi di dati, tecnologie di search e analytics giocano un ruolo chiave nell’abilitare accesso alla conoscenza, osservabilità delle piattaforme e analisi operativa.
Accanto alla visione futura presenteremo anche alcuni **use case concreti sviluppati da Seacom**, tra cui piattaforme di ricerca su grandi archivi informativi, sistemi di osservabilità e security analytics e architetture dati scalabili per applicazioni mission-critical.
Un’occasione per capire dove sta andando OpenSearch e come le innovazioni della roadmap si traducano già oggi in piattaforme moderne, affidabili e orientate ai dati.
***Alessandro Fortunati – CTO @Seacom*** *ha una lunga esperienza nello sviluppo di architetture distribuite, sistemi di ricerca e piattaforme di observability.*
*Si occupa di progettare soluzioni scalabili che integrano AI, data analytics e search, con focus su affidabilità operativa e supporto ai team di engineering.*
**Group log management & observability: architetture, migrazione e strategie reali**
Come evolvono le piattaforme di *enterprise-scale observability in contesti reali*? vIn questo talk analizzeremo un’implementazione basata su *OpenSearch*, approfondendo l’architettura di cluster distribuiti deployati a livello di gruppo, con focus su *scalability*, *resilience* e strategie *multi-tenant*.
Vedremo inoltre una *real-world exit strategy* da *Splunk*, evidenziando le principali sfide, i *migration pattern* e le strategie di *cost optimization*.
Infine, verrà presentato un approccio pragmatico all’*observability*, basato sull’integrazione di *logs*, *metrics* e *traces*, per migliorare *visibility*, *reliability* ed *operational efficiency* in ambienti complessi.
Un talk pensato per chi lavora su piattaforme di monitoring, SRE, DevOps e system architecture e vuole portare l’*observability* a un livello successivo.
in contesti reali
***Fabio Marzotti - Group log management & observability@Nexi Italy*** *è un IT Manager con ampia esperienza in ambito observability, automation, telemetry, log management e data streaming. Esperto nella progettazione e gestione di piattaforme di enterprise monitoring, con una solida background in system architecture e operations in contesti finanziari su larga scala.*
Ci sarà sempre nei nostri incontri un **community slot**, uno spazio dedicato agli interventi della community per raccontare un problema risolto in produzione, portare un tema tecnico su cui stai lavorando oppure condividere una domanda architetturale da discutere insieme.
E, come in ogni meetup che vuole diventare una community vera, ci sarà spazio ampio per **Q&A, confronto aperto e networking**: perché spesso le soluzioni migliori nascono proprio dalle conversazioni informali tra persone che affrontano sfide simili.
Sei benvenuta/io anche se non hai mai usato OpenSearch!
Ti aspettiamo!

CBusData: The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again.
We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all.
Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
Arthouse Friday: THE DRAMA at the Drexel Theatre!
Join us as we get together for an Arthouse Movie Friday event to see the A24 dark comedy /romance / psychological-thriller, THE DRAMA! The film stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as a happily engaged couple whose relationship is challenged when one discovers unsettling truths about the other. Here are details, a trailer and our plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: The film follows a happily engaged couple whose relationship is put to the test when an unexpected turn sends their wedding week off the rails. The film comes from A24, is written/directed by Kristoffer Borgli stars Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Mamoudou Athie, Alana Haim, Hailey Gates and Zoë Winters.
QUICK WORD OF WARNING: The film hasn’t screened for critics yet and most of the details are being kept tightly under wraps. But, early buzz (possibly promotional) says the film is a brilliant psychological thriller/romance but also provocative, twisty and some contains occasional uncomfortable viewing! I love the cast and trailer, so look forward to seeing for ourselves!
ZENDAYA-PATTINSON TRIFECTA CHALLENGE: Robert Pattinson and Zendaya will star in THREE movies together this year, including THE DRAMA, Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY this Summer and Denis Villeneuve’s DUNE: PART THREE at Christmas!
TRAILER: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKcUa4Xxk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKcUa4Xxk)
PLAN: We’ll plan for 7pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 30 minutes before showtime! Advance ticket purchase not required for this theater but early arrival is advised. Possibly post-movie get-together at the nearby Rusty Bucket! Complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer.
Take care and look forward to seeing you there, Dan
Data & Analytics Wednesday - The Data-Driven Brand
**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception**
Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory.
For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy.
She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps).
Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way.
**About Our Speaker**
Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.
