Speaking – Mathieu ELIE

Talks, meetups and workshops on Elasticsearch and the Elastic Stack.

INVITE ME TO SPEAK

In brief

I've been giving talks and workshops on Elasticsearch and the Elastic Stack since 2012: meetups in Bordeaux, hands-on workshops, and more than 160 training sessions since then. As a freelance consultant and trainer, I speak in French or English, on site or remotely, and share what I see in production every week.

TOPICS

  • Elasticsearch: search relevance, data modeling, performance and sizing.
  • Elastic Observability: logs, metrics and APM traces with Elastic Agent and Fleet.
  • Elastic Security / SIEM: detections, alerts and investigations.
  • Elastic Machine Learning: anomaly detection and AIOps.
  • Field feedback: upgrades, cloud migrations, running clusters in production.

FORMATS

  • Meetup or conference talk.
  • Internal tech talk for your teams (lunch & learn, tech day, kick-off).
  • Hands-on workshop: a few hours to get started with a real cluster.
  • For a full course, see my training offer.
