Achim Friedland (OK Lab Jena) presented the CODE for Germany project and how it uses open data to visualise and solve problems. He showed some examples of visualised Open Data.

Elastic Stack @ePages

Christian Köhler (ePages) presented the current Elastic stack at ePages. He explained the approach and the lessons learned to build the centralised logging framework.

Regression Test Analysis with Elasticsearch in a Delivery Pipeline

Benjamin Nothdurft and Bastian Klein (epages) presented a short version of their implementation of the ElasticSearch, Logstash and Docker integration for aggregation and collection of integration test results from various systems in the delivery pipeline (slides).

Lightning Talk: How Elasticsearch was used in former projects

Jens Fischer (ePages) talked about deploying the Elastic stack in one of his former projects and the adoption of the new technology.

In the end delivering all this content took about one hour longer than planned, but even the UEFA EM 2016 match Poland vs. Portugal was gladly skipped by all participants.

After the presentations we had some nice discussions about the usage of Elasticsearch with some pizza and beer.
