Whether you’re already deeply involved with the Elasticsearch stack or new to it, hands-on is the best way to learn and improve skills. Hack days are great ways to explore new ideas and acquire experience with the technologies you use or plan to use. Join us for this day-long event where you’ll be able to work on real Elasticsearch problems, using the distribution and codebase of Open Distro for Elasticsearch. Open Distro is a downstream distribution of Elasticsearch with additional features like built-in security, alerting, performance diagnostics, machine learning and more.
At this event, you could build on existing Open Distro for Elasticsearch features. Projects could include security integration for third-party auth systems and alerting web hooks for Gitter. You could work on front-end components such as a React client for the Performance Analyzer or new dashboard visualizations in Kibana. You could also work on UX design or technical documentation for Open Distro components.
We will have Open Distro experts and mentors available to help and guide you. Lunch and snacks will be served. There will be prizes and swag for the winners.
