Course description
Are you looking for ways to gather insights from the data and logs your system emits? Would you like to join companies like Twitter and LinkedIn in providing your own tailor made search that will enable your users to drill-down and auto-complete features? How about creating shiny dashboards to visualize your system and the behavior of the data you gather?
In this intensive 2 weeks online course on the leading open-source product Elasticsearch and it's related technology stack you will learn both the basics of full-text search and information retrieval and how to unleash the power of the inverted index, using the powerful ELK stack: Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana.
Through hands-on exercises, lectures and by discussing real-world challenges, you will learn how to achieve a better user experience by incorporating your own search engine in your products.
