Elasticsearch Intern Workshop

Based out of SF, Workday Search is redesigning the Workday search engine from the ground up, utilizing modern technologies such as Elasticsearch, Scala, Ruby, and many others. We are passionate about things like distributed systems, functional programming, and of course - search!If any of these sound like fun to you, we’d love to see you at our workshops! You can also check out our available opportunities here:http://bit.ly/wdaySYMAN. Oh, and we have a slide in the office, so you can come for that too :)

<H2>What is Elasticsearch?</H2>
Elasticsearch is a powerful open-source search engine that is widely used in the tech industry. It has gained momentum quickly due to its easy-to-use REST API, distributed nature, and full-text search capabilities. 
The world around us is full of data - whether you’re interested in a career in startups, large-scale tech, or just enjoy learning new things, Elasticsearch is a great technology to be familiar with. ES is utilized by companies such as Facebook, Soundcloud, Github, and <A HREF="https://www.elastic.co/use-cases" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">many more</A> to bring intelligent search to their products. 
During this workshop, we’ll teach you the basics of ES and introduce you to some tools that make working with it super easy. You’ll also get a chance to meet fellow interns from other companies, as well as learn about how we use Elasticsearch at Workday!
