Summary


Meetups make a good case for analysis. In fact, we learned about meetups using a number of visualizations. We learned about why the existing plugin could not satisfy our needs and got to understand what new plugin offers. It is always interesting to find out facts of things we usually do. Meetup, to that matter, is a popular platform these days and helps to spread knowledge and good deeds. We learned how we could use tile maps to see the regions where most meetups are. Tag clouds helped us to find out the popular topics and categories under which a huge number of meetups take place. Finally, we saw a glimpse of how watcher could help us get notified of the events.

Elastic Stack offers more than what we could cover in the book. The tool set is still evolving and will be offering a lot. We hope the topics and use cases we chose to include in the book is a part of right set and helps you. We hope that the book helped you to learn how to effectively utilize Elastic Stack for your use...
