Achievement unlocked: Added a cover slide using a terminal with figlet to my no-slides #elasticon presentation showing ES|QL to look into three years of solar data.

After the presentation quite a few folks came up to me and told me, why there was a certain PV produce during the time of year (less in July due to hot temperatures reducing production, thus higher in April). Thanks for all the pointers.

A part of the demo has also been written down in a blog post. See https://spinscale.de/posts/2025-10-07-solar-power-monitoring-with-elasticsearch-and-esql.html

It's been a busy week with #ElasticON London meetup on Wednesday, and running the community track on Thursday. Thank you to our amazing speakers at both sessions who shared their experience and the cool things they have been doing with Elastic.

Until next time! 😊👋

We're back with another Elastic meetup in London on Feb 5th ahead of #ElasticON London with Microsoft! We have talks from Microsoft on #rag with #elasticsearch and #azure and my Elastic colleagues on #rag and #observability.
