Sematext is known worldwide for our Elasticsearch, ELK stack and Solr consulting services and production support, and we are now helping others to become more proficient in these technologies via 1- and 2-day training workshops.

In each workshop attendees will go through several sequences of short lectures followed by interactive, group, hands-on exercises. There will be a Q&A session after each such block. All training is delivered by one of our experts — engineers who have written books, spoken at conferences and have many years of experience helping enterprise, medium and small organizations alike.

All of our training workshops are open to anyone who wants to become more knowledgeable and skilled with Elasticsearch and ELK stack (Elasticsearch / Logstash / Kibana).

Sematext was an ideal training partner for Parse.ly. We had just recently adopted Elasticsearch on a new project, and they gave us two days of solid training that was tailored to our team’s needs. The material was built atop strong foundations and moved quickly into advanced areas around querying, Lucene internals, and cluster performance. It was clear that it was all informed by real-world experience operating these systems at scale.

Elasticsearch Workshops

All Elasticsearch training workshops are 1-day sessions usually taking place from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm. Each section is followed by a lab with multiple hands-on exercises.
