Talk Abstract:

do MORE with stateLESS - Philipp Krenn (🎩 of DevRrel at Elastic)

How would you build Elasticsearch if it was started in 2024? Decouple compute and storage, outsource the persistence to a blob store like S3, dynamically scale up and down, have the right defaults, and a clear path for developers. This is what we have done!

In this talk, learn how we have redesigned Elasticsearch to do more with a stateless architecture that can run hot queries on cold storage. And see how you can get started with it today.

Endeca to Elastic Migration and Semantic Search - Prabir Biswas (Lead Elasticsearch Data Engineer at Radian Group Inc.)

In this talk, I will share how we built a brand new system to help search/discovery of 5 million products using Elasticsearch, including an increase in performance of 30% over previous our platform. Additionally, I will cover my experience of using ELSER to support human-like search.
