"RAG made easy with #SpringAI and #elasticsearch": meetup tomorrow (february 26) evening by the SF JUG in the elastic office. we'll try to balance the java side, vector search, and not getting too serious ;) https://www.meetup.com/sfjava/events/306118459/

we enabled some of the @Discourse provided AI features on discuss.elastic.co. the stats are for the last 24 (the weekend is a bit quieter) feels more about making things more useful than just generating more text: 1. better search with semantic search: that […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

great piece of swag: fastest ruler ever 😂

elasticsearch 9 is approaching and you can give it a spin 🌪️ more on features later (and also the release strategy with the remaining 8.x minors). but this is the easiest way to get going: 1. use start-local, which will give you 8.17.2 right now: curl […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

"12M is not a multiple of 1M". it's one of those days...

"Evaluation of @Elastic Cloud Serverless on Microsoft @Azure (Technical Preview)": https://qensus.com/elastic/partner-news-evaluation-of-elastic-cloud-serverless-on-microsoft-azure-technical-preview/ in-depth view on differences to hosted elastic cloud […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

protomaps.com: open source map, deployable as a single static file. I love some "boring" technology

poor uber is giving itself an extra 1.5% if you travel "no preferred currency" it is in account -> wallet -> preferred currency (and use a card that doesn‘t charge for foreign currencies). obviously the default is with the 1.5%

TreeHacks: hacking done. now judging (this is also only one of multiple spaces)

treehacks at stanford university is in full swing and yes, there‘s a price for the best use of elastic serverless

we‘re looking for a developer advocate (🥑) to join elastic in austin: https://jobs.elastic.co/jobs/?gh_jid=6632689 tips from my side: 1. "developer" is the first word for a reason. we‘re looking for technical folks — the more the better. that‘s also why we are part of engineering. as our team […]

CSVES (CSV to #elasticsearch): https://github.com/githubesson/csves/ the little utilities to get you going with your data :)

"#elasticsearch: 15 years of indexing it all, finding what matters": https://www.elastic.co/search-labs/blog/elasticsearch-history-15-years we turned it into a proper blog post with shay :)

search terminology — and you might disagree 😅 there are a ton of search terms being thrown around so I tried to structure them * lexical / keyword search with a match (BM25 for similarity) as the foundation of full-text search * dense vector search with E5 […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

"15 years of searching, indexing and pretending we don’t have too many shards" #elasticsearch a crystal anniversary deserves a roast (poking fun at the subject of honor). short thread & curious about yours 🧵 PS: serverless (no shards, nodes or versions), ES|QL,.. to the rescue […]

#elasticsearch is 15 years old today! shay announced it with the "You Know, for Search" tagline and the first release (0.4.0) back in february 2010. a thread 🧵 to the last 15 years of indexing and search. and to the next 15 years of relevance

#elasticsearch serverless is available as a tech preview on #azure — no shards, no nodes, no versions quick walkthrough how to get started. if you pay close attention, you can already see another feature in the works that's currently only available to employees 🤫

if you run into some unexpected changes with the @Elastic apt repository: it's known and we're on it. especially annoying for automation, which won't handle this. but we'll try to fix it on our end 🤞 […]

still fascinating how regional some software projects are (this is google trends — even though I'm not even sure how much google is used in china) anybody can guess the software? hint: it's an apache project

still feel like this is a bug and not a feature how #slack is leaking private channels you're not part of 🫠

2 factor authentication is important. but an authenticator app on your phone is also a hassle, especially when requiring frequent re-logins adding the biometric option in #elastic cloud is such a welcome addition! and will be more phishing resistant too

"How Not to Measure Latency" — almost 10 years old but too often forgotten: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ8ydIuPFeU 1/3 how to lie with percentiles; note the "95%lie"

since I keep running into the question: how do I stay up to date with releases? for every project that does releases on #GitHub (like #elasticsearch, #kibana,... but also countless others), you can watch "custom" events and then only select "releases". you'll only get release updates

seeing a wave of recruitment / internship scams at elastic right now :/ some tips: * jobs are listed on https://www.elastic.co/careers * we'll use [email protected] email addresses * our chief HR officer won't hire most positions herself * we don't ask for gift cards or send fake cheques
