4 years ago Hi @mousikosk ! Nice to meet you, and thanks for the submission. We have our next meetup planned for December the 4th and there is a possibility that we have a presentation slot open for that. Otherwise, we definitely have a spot for the first meetup of 2020 (TBD but probably late January).
Will you be available for December 4th ( we'll know about slot openings by the end of next week ) ?

4 years ago Hello @jkakavas and thank you for the hospitality at the previous meetups. December 4th works fine for me. The duration of the presentation can be modified as well if you would rather host more lightning talks this time. Looking forward to hearing from you.

4 years ago I'll get back to you by end of next week. If we can't do it now, I'll get in touch with you right after the December event so that we can schedule it for the next in January. I think it would be worth having this as a full 30-45 mins session instead of cramping it into a lightning talk !

4 years ago @mousikosk Hi there, and apologies for the late reply as I have been traveling for the last 10 days. Will you still be willing to present in our next meetup that is scheduled for the 4th of December ? We have a proper slot, so 45 mins. Let me know what you think

4 years ago Hi @jkakavas. No worries at all. Yes, 4th of December sounds great. I'll start working on a 45' version. Please let me know of anything that you may require from me (i.e. a shorter description for the schedule).

4 years ago Abstract: At Logicea we decided to use Elasticsearch to upgrade the analytics dashboard of our client that does email threat analysis for its customers. In this session we will present the development process as well as the progress after six months in production. We will also focus on how Elasticsearch ended up being the only data store for all the needs of this project.

4 years ago Meetup has suffered a lot in recent spam waves and they have tightened down the rules a lot now. @jkakavas I think you (or any other organizer) can post it in the group and I guess we can then close this issue. Thanks everyone :)

Description
Our client analyses emails and also provides a dashboard to the relevant departments of their clients to allow monitoring of the aggregate results and filter-based search down to individual emails. They approached us for the development of a new, more responsive, version of the dashboard. This included the use of an underlying document database (instead of their existing relational database) that would perform well in providing search results and aggregations and would scale along with the increasing amount of processed emails. Due to the nature of the data, Elasticsearch seemed like an ideal candidate. We ended up using the Elasticsearch pipeline to ingest the incoming JSON documents (the products of the email analysis) in the desired form. We also decided to use the same cluster to store the dashboards that users create, as well as to log their sessions to provide analytics regarding the usage of the application. In that way, Elasticsearch turned out to be the only service required to power the React.js front-end application, apart from a intermediary API and the existing Keycloak server our client was already using for authentication. This experience lead to the adoption of Elasticsearch for other projects as well.
