Amsterdam OpenSearch Launch Event with Zeta Alpha
2023-11-10 18:00 - 19:00
Zeta Alpha is inviting the OpenSearch community in Amsterdam to join the launch event of the Amsterdam User Group. We start at 18:00, we’ll have Pizza, Refreshments, Talks, and Networking (this is an in-person only event).
What our group is about:
We are a group of people in the Amsterdam area with keen interest in search engineering, open-source search technology, and search relevancy. If you’ve utilized or are simply curious about core search technologies like OpenSearch, Lucene, or Solr, and their application in fields such as enterprise search, vector search, and generative AI, this is the space for you!
We embrace all skill levels. Even if search is just a small part of your day-to-day duties, come learn and connect with other smart engineers. We cover and welcome talks on topics including: search, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for Large Language Models (LLM), data connectors and data visualization.
Time and location:
November 10th, 2023 from 18:00 to 19:30. Room L3.36 at Lab 42, Science Park 900, Amsterdam.
Schedule:

18:00 – Arrival with food, drinks.
18:30 – OpenSearch and Generative AI – Nate Boot.
18:50 – OpenSearch vector capabilities – Jettro Coenradie.
19:10 – Retrieval Augmented Generation: Lucene based vs Vector databases – Fernando Rejon Barrera.
19:30 – Networking with drinks.
20:00 – Closing.

Talks:
OpenSearch and Generative AI
Experiences with OpenSearch and generative AI as a developer advocate for the OpenSearch Project.
Speaker: Nate Boot, Developer Advocate – OpenSearch Project.
OpenSearch vector capabilities
Lexical search is powering the majority of search engines today. It works for eCommerce, the legal domain, the medical domain, etc. However, you must know what you are looking for to find something. Without the right terms, you must be lucky if someone added a synonym for your term. What if you can search for concepts rather than terms?
During this presentation, you step into the semantic or vector search world. You get introduced to the vector search capabilities of OpenSearch. Together, we explore the different options OpenSearch has for Vector Search. Through a demo, you see the difference between lexical and vector search.

*Speaker: Jettro Coenradie, Information Retrieval Specialist
Coach
Architect at Luminis.*

Retrieval Augmented Generation: Lucene based vs Vector databases
Selecting the right retrieval backend for Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems can be the decisive factor between success and failure. In this talk, I’ll share insights gained from building RAG systems for enterprise applications, highlighting the critical factors for ensuring quality, performance, and security. Join me for practical advice on moving your RAG system beyond the POC phase.
Speaker: Fernando Rejon Barrera, CTO at Zeta Alpha.

Compatibility with non-Windows destinations such as Unix/Linux

In this webinar, we will cover the top Fluent Bit for Windows capabilities including:

Ability to collect Windows event logs, such as security, application, and custom channels
Ability to collect custom Windows application logs, including IIS Server Logs
Ability to collect Windows system metrics, to process metrics, and to convert to the required format

Getting Started with Fluent Bit and OpenTelemetry [Webinar]
2023-12-14 14:00 - 17:00
Fluent Bit and OpenTelemetry (Otel) are both well-known open-source projects in the observability space. With over 11 billion downloads, Fluent Bit is widely adopted for its log processing and routing capabilities. Recently, it has added metrics and traces to its capabilities. Otel was born from the merger of the OpenCensus (metrics) and OpenTracing (traces) projects and has recently added logging to its capabilities. Inevitably, the apparent similarity of the two projects raises questions such as:

Do OpenTelemetry and Fluent Bit do the same thing?
Can Fluent Bit and OpenTelemetry work together? If so, how? And what’s the advantage of using both?

In this webinar you’ll learn:

The basics of OpenTelemetry
Industry best practices for adoption of Otel & Fluent Bit
When to use Fluent Bit and when to use Otel
Why Fluent Bit plus Otel

Getting Started with Fluent Bit and OpenSearch
2024-01-31 15:00 - 16:00
Join us for this live, hands-on training!
Building a log analytics solution for Cloud Native workloads that provides log visibility and searchability can be difficult. In the past, teams have tried to solve this using a combination of Elasticsearch Logstash Kibana (ELK) or, more recently, Elasticsearch Fluentd Kibana (EFK). These solutions have worked well, but they are resource intensive, difficult to maintain, and lack the freedom of an OSS solution like Fluent Bit + OpenSearch.
Take this opportunity to elevate your skills and join OSS experts Anurag Gupta (Calyptia) and Kevin Fallis (AWS) to learn how to:

Get started using Fluent Bit and OpenSearch together
Onboard log data from Linux and Windows VMs
View log data (structured and unstructured) using OpenSearch dashboards
Build an OSS log analytics solution in a Cloud Native environment
