Talks:
From Star-ish Schema to Vector Search (and RAG)
Elasticsearch had its core indexing and searching capabilities continuously improved over time, and with each new feature, it became popular for plenty of novel use cases.

In this presentation, we will see a progression of how Elasticsearch can be used, starting with its initial keyword search, up to the more recent vector search. Since the structure of the data looks similar to the Star Schema after importing it into Elasticsearch, I chose to name it “Star-ish Schema”.

As a use case, we will have an example of a wildlife database, which needs to be structured and indexed in accordance with the standards of today. Finally, I will present a demo with a RAG pipeline on top of the vector search, and prompt it with some questions about wild fauna.

From Question to Dashboard in 60 Seconds: AI-Powered Observability with Kibana
What if you could go from "why is latency spiking?" to a fully built dashboard in under a minute? With AI now deeply integrated into Kibana dashboards, that's no longer aspirational — it's how teams are working today. In this talk, we'll show how AI helps you ask questions about your observability data and instantly get answers as rich, interactive dashboards. We'll demo the latest capabilities including AI custom panels that generate tailored visualizations from natural language. We'll also look ahead at what's coming next for Kibana dashboards.
