Title: Workshop ElasticSearch
Proposer: 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
