We are known worldwide for our Elasticsearch, ELK stack and Solr consulting services, and we are always happy to help others improve their skills in these technologies, not only through Solr & Elastic Stack trainings, but also by sharing our knowledge in meetups and conferences. This week, on 7-9 November 2016, we joined O’REILLY Velocity 2016 conference, discussing the latest tech in Elasticsearch.

Our colleagues Radu Gheorghe and Rafał Kuć were present in Amsterdam and gave a talk about: Elasticsearch for logs and metrics: A deep dive. And it was a great experience! They met with web operations and DevOps professionals interested in improving their Elastic Stack skills.

Lots of comments and questions were answered!
