Build Stuff'14

The amounts of data we have to deal with grow every year. In fact, many of us don't even realize the amount of useful information they have at the tip of their fingers. All they need is the right tools - and now is the time to make this change.

Elasticsearch is an open-source distributed search engine and analytics server. It is the hot new kid in town, mostly used to perform real-time analytics on large streams of data. In this meetup we will get to know the ELK stack (Elasticsearch-logstash-kibana), and the variety of things it allows us to do.

We will see how to aggregate logs from various sources into one visual interface, for finding patterns and debugging errors in distributed environments. How to build an efficient alerts system, to automatically tag data, build user-friendly UIs for search, perform effective full-text searches, geo-spatial search, image search and much more.
