Speaker: Miles CookThis talk will examine a real business case, where increased data analytics demands required a change of database. The team adopted Elasticsearch to replace MySQL for our social media analytics platform, Blurrt. It will examine the problems encountered with MySQL, what how we tried to resolve them, and what alternatives DBs we looked at. We’ll walkthrough the implementation strategy, highlight teething issues, and finally look at Elasticsearch’s setup, “gotchyas” and quirks.
