To my #DevRel friends in the Netherlands 📣

We are looking for an Advocate in Amsterdam to join the Elastic team. If you are passionate about speaking, sharing technical content with the developer community, and writing code do apply!

the ability to identify shortsighted or poorly written code is now the most valuable skill.

Super excited to be live demoing @asymptotelabs' Agent Beacon at @elastic's Developer Meetup on May 28 in San Francisco.

I’ll walk through how Agent Beacon turns AI agent runtime activity into Elastic-native security investigations, helping teams connect suspicious behavior back to the agent workflow behind it.

I’ll be presenting alongside lead engineers from @recurly and @Intuit for a night of real production stories across search, reliability, observability, and AI runtime security.

If you're around, please swing by! Luma link below in the comments 👇

Demos and theoretical talks are cool but what's even better is hearing war stories from engineers running Elasticsearch in large-scale production systems.

Come through to our meetup on 5/28 at the @elastic SF office and hear from engineers at @Intuit and @recurly

‼️🚨 UPDATE: The TanStack npm attack is now a full campaign.

'Mini' Shai-Hulud has hit:
- OpenSearch
- Mistral AI
- Guardrails AI
-UiPath
- Squawk packages across npm and PyPI

The malware specifically targets AI developer tooling. It hooks into Claude Code (.claude/settings.json) and VS Code (.vscode/tasks.json) to re-execute on every tool event, long after the infected package is gone. npm uninstall does not fix this.

[Benjamin Trent @benwtrent]

Lots of noise around TurboQuant. It is good at MSE quantization. But claims around unique groundbreaking results are exaggerated. As it stands, I don't think it should be used for vector search indices. Tom Veasey shows why: https://t.co/EJREzonWig

@calcsam @mastra LESSSGOOOO Congrats!

[JD @JDArmada]

I thought MCP was ded 🧐

[Peter Steinberger 🦞 @steipete]

The next version of OpenClaw is also an MCP, you can use it instead of Anthropic's message channel MCP to connect to a much wider range of message providers.

(I know, this is awkward)

[JD @JDArmada]

I kept getting asked what “Elastic Serverless” actually means, so I made a quick video explaining what changed architecturally: https://t.co/yHCkaDZzOI

Was a sponsor + judge at TreeHacks again this year, so many cool projects! Some might genuinely be useful to the world. Here are our winners holding Elky like an Oscar

SF Agent builders, see you tonight!

[JP Hwang @_jphwang]

Today is my first day at @elastic, joining @xeraa's team as a Senior Developer Advocate.

It's going to be fun learning, helping folks get more out of Elastic, and relay the community's voice back.

Now - Back to getting set up😉

[Nina Lopatina @NinaLopatina]

Feb 9, @ContextualAI x @elastic hack night @ AWS Loft. Really looking forward to this one. Beta + enterprise-only features, unlocked for the night.

Build AI agents that actually work & are grounded in your data. Agent Composer lets you design workflows via prompt or visually: connecting your docs, APIs, and tools into agents that handle complex tasks in minutes instead of hours.

Top 3 demos win prizes.

@abhiaiyer Condolences Abhi ❤️

[Leonie @helloiamleonie]

i think search is in its hottest era.

excited to work in this space.

[JD @JDArmada]

@CastillaCodes @elastic_devs Actually improving your day to day life, love it!! Now I need this for the Bay Area 😅

[JD @JDArmada]

@elastic_devs At the beginning of the year, I also built an assistant that helped me win my NBA fantasy league using Elasticsearch to store and aggregate player stats. https://t.co/kZraEmagRL

[Elastic Dev @elastic_devs]

What did you build with Elasticsearch in 2025? Share your creation below!

[JD @JDArmada]

Built my own “second brain” notes platform on Elasticsearch: using ES as the primary datastore, ELSER for semantic + hybrid search, and an AI agent that auto-categorizes notes, formats them, and adds smart tags. Basically a personal knowledge base with agentic workflows on top of ES. Still looking for new ways to interact with agents outside of a chatbox!
