Seeing the increased bandwidth is super exciting for a lot of business analytics cases we get into for IT/security/fraud/finance teams: imagine correlating across lots of event data from transactions, logs, ... . Every year,

Our nodejs + python backends are all: multiple processes -> async/await nodejs/python event loops (used to be frp/streams) . It's good to solve event loop bottlenecks, but more from a individual query's latency p

Yep. Some magic questions more at where enterprise pricing begins: - "Oh budgeting isn't until end of year.. what can we do until then?" Then you do a 50K thing for 5mo until thing under their personal or direct bosses author

Yes! To your point, I've been watching the slow uptake of basic ideas in science departments. In this case, neural networks are still largely looked at either with suspicion (wrong principles) or as magic (too difficult) by top non-C

Interesting, thank you! Why does 100M vectors not work in ES? - Is this a configuration issue -- common for ES users -- or something fundamental? - It sounds like latency is the main thing. Any numbers intuition here, and any other dimensio
