Parking and Logistics:

After turning off of Jefferson on to Alla Road, there is free street parking at the first right Coral Tree Place. From there you can enter the Reserve business park at the Gate 1 main entry which is the gate near the end of the road, or via a pedestrian entrance near gate 2.

Space 900 is the large building that is closest to the Gate 1 main entry.

Abstract:
The most straightforward and scalable way to use ElasticSearch is with data that can be indexed once and forgotten about, but it's not the only way. At People.ai, we leverage ElasticSearch's unique capabilities as a high-performance aggregation engine used for data that is updated frequently. In this presentation, I'll discuss some of the challenges we overcame in learning how to support this use-case while managing search performance.
