Objectives
This 2-day training about Elasticsearch covers key concepts, setup and configuration of Elasticsearch. Trainees will explore cluster and performance management, security, search and indexing, as well as data modeling.
They will also learn to use text analysis to improve search relevance, implement advanced search requests, facets and aggregations.
Finally, the training will focus on setting services as autocompletion and an introduction to natural language processing (NLP) integrations with Elasticsearch.
Audience
This training is proposed to software developers and lead developers willing to setup, replace or evolve an advanced search engine solution in their applications.
All our courses are accessible to people with disabilities.
