**Title**: Workshop ElasticSearch\\
**Proposer**: [[2015:Michel Grootjans]]\\
**Type**: Pair programming workshop\\
**Duration**: 90 mins\\
**Description**: \\
Goal\\
Prove that it is not hard to get started with a search engine.\\
\\
Motivation\\
While relational databases have lots of use cases, there are areas where different technologies are a much better fit. One of them is flexible and complex real-time searching. ElasticSearch builds on the trusted and performant base of Lucene and adds lots of compelling features (JSON documents, RESTful API or automatic rebalancing to name just a few).\\
\\
Intended audience\\
Mainly intended for developers.
Product owners, scrum masters and other project managers are also welcome. This might generate new ideas ;-)\\
