Hackathons & Meetups

(Graphs)-[:ARE]->­­(Everywhere)

C-Base Raumstation and Berlin Buzzwords are offering a day-long Learn&Hack event about all things graph.

Join us for a relaxed day of learning about the power of graphs, graph modeling and querying. We will look into cool use-cases and applications, and explore how easy it is to get your own graph-model and -app going in just a few minutes.

If you're lucky you can win printed copies of the brand-new 2nd edition of "Graph Databases".

Schedule:

10:00 – 14:00

  • Neo4j & Cypher Intro 

14:00 – 16:00

  • Create Your Graph,
  • Live GraphGist Modeling
  • Apply what you've learned

16:00 – 19:00

  • From Graph to App 
  • Take your graph model and use cases 
  • Put an UI in front and deploy it to the cloud

19:00 – 21:00

GameDuell TechTalk with Boaz Leskes

As one of the most popular search engines based on Apache Lucene, Elasticsearch recognizes the crucial importance of being resilient to hardware and network failure. This is why Elasticsearch invests a lot to enable Elasticsearch and Apache Lucene detect and cope with increasingly complex failures. Elasticsearch’s lead developer, Boaz Leskes, will cover the recent highlights and future plans of the company’s resiliency strategy. He will explain all aspects of Elasticsearch, ranging from the lowest level of a single file, through network connection of a single node, and all the way up to distributed failures on the cluster level. Even though the talk is about possible failures and various coping strategies, participants will also get an interesting peek under the hood and learn about the inner workings of Elasticsearch. The GameDuell TechTalk will be wrapped up by a Q & A round, where two more Elasticsearch engineers, Adrien Grand and Ryan Ernst, will step in to answer any possible questions ranging from architecture to practical use cases.

 

Schedule

14:30 – Doors open
15:00 – Presentation by Boaz Leskes incl. Q & A with Adrien Grand and Ryan Ernst
16:00 – Get Together with drinks and snacks
