Leveraging Elasticsearch as the foundation of a Digital Experience Analytics Platform

In this session, we will discuss our experiences in creating a highly performant, scalable, and real-time data ingestion and processing analytics platform. We will review our architecture, usage, lessons learned, and recommended best practices working with Elastic technology. CA’s Analytics Platform models a Lambda Architecture with the use of a combination of open source technologies such as Kafka, Elasticsearch, Apache Spark, and HDFS. It was built to ingests large amounts of application trace files, metrics, session navigation details, and other UX data in real time from mobile devices and web applications to capture a holistic view of customer experience to developers and business stake holders.

Getting Started with Elasticsearch

Elasticsearch is at the heart of the popular open source Elastic Stack. The level of experience our meetup attendees have with Elastic can vary widely, so sometimes it's good to go back to the basics and that's what we'll be doing at this meetup!

• What is Elasticsearch?

• What problems are people solving with Elasticsearch?

• Examples of how to load data into and run search queries against Elasticsearch

• Using Kibana to quickly visualize data in Elasticsearch
