Talk 1: Using Microservices to Power Fashion Search and Discovery (Dmitry Kolesnikov)

Microservices became a design style to define system architectures, purify core business concepts, evolve solutions in parallel, make things look uniform, and implement stable and consistent interfaces across systems. I’ll be discussing our principles for microservice development of stateful solutions such as fashion search and discovery, a promising field that we’re excited to further evolve.

Talk 2: Elastic Cluster – Performance Testing (Henrik Laurentz)

In this session you will learn about performance testing your Elasticsearch cluster so that you can better plan the hardware and the settings of your going-to-production cluster. If you are already in production, the tests will help you identify better configuration options or will enable you to benchmark new search features so that there will be less surprises when these are deployed.

We will go through the typical performance test steps and will end up with a performance test demo.
