Elastic{on} 2015 Talk

This repository exists to collect our GitHub ElasticSearch stories and then craft them into coherent talk for Elastic{on} 2015. The stories are being collected in the stories directory. Any images and supporting graphs are going into the images folder. The talk itself will live in the talk folder.

Please contribute stories if you have any. The basic format of a story follows the post-mortem format:

• background
• what went wrong
• how we fixed it
• lessons learned

There is an optional "segue" section if there are some extra notes that will help the talk transition from one story to the next.

stories from the GitHub search clusters

• Where have we come from
• What are we doing
• Where are we going

The talk will walk through a code-search query metrics graph over the past 80 / 90 weeks or so. We’ll highlight major events that appear on this graph. Along the way we’ll talk about how we use graphs and metrics to see past performance and predict future load and scaling needs. We’ll talk about the tools we use each day to handle index upgrades, cluster migrations, and other operational tasks.
