タイムテーブル
1\. OpenSearch プロジェクト最新情報
2.ユーザーセッション① : 弥生株式会社 Kazuma Imaizumiさん
* タイトル : OpenSearch Warm Tier設計の実践 - UltraWarm経験から学ぶIndex/Shard最適化
* 概要 : OpenSearchでのUltraWarm導入経験をもとに、OSS環境でも活用できるWarm Tier設計の実践的ノウハウを共有します。ISM(Index State Management)、Index、Shardの基本概念から、シャードサイズ設計のベストプラクティスと実運用での最適化、UltraWarmとWarm Tierで共通する設計考慮事項まで、具体的な設定例とともに解説します。実運用データ(週1TB、1,000以上のシャード、1シャード約100GB)での経験をもとに、理想と現実のギャップを踏まえた時系列データの効率的な管理とコスト最適化を目指す技術者向けの内容です。
3.ユーザーセッション② : Serverless Operations, Inc. Sonu Kimさん
* タイトル : 「うまく言えない」検索を叶える ― OpenSearchと生成AIで作る類似プロジェクト検索
* 概要 : 「前に似たような案件があったはずだけど、どう検索すればいいか分からない」といった、うまく言語化できない検索が必要な業務があります。本セッションでは、OpenSearch を活用して類似プロジェクトを検索できる仕組みを構築し、業務に合わせて「何をどの程度似ていると判断するか」を柔軟にチューニングできる検索体験を実現した取り組みについてお話します。 また、あいまいな検索条件でもユーザーが求める情報に辿り着けるよう、生成AIを用いてデータを前処理・構造化するアプローチや、検索精度を高めるための工夫についても合わせてお伝えします。
4.ユーザーセッション③ : 株式会社ラクス Nobuhiro Inaguma さん
* タイトル : VectorDBとしてのOpenSearch\~5,000万件超のベクトル検索をコストを抑えて運用する技術選定\~
* 概要 : 全文検索・分析基盤として知られるOpenSearchは、実は大規模なベクトル検索にも活用できます。本セッションでは、5,000万件超のベクトルを対象に、ベクトルDB導入時に課題になりがちなメモリコストの増加を、Disk-based vector searchの活用で抑えた事例をご紹介します。
懇親会について
セッション終了後、簡単な軽食とドリンクをご用意する予定です。
