At Elastic — the company behind the open source tools Elasticsearch, Kibana, Beats, and Logstash — everything is distributed; the company and our products. Building distributed systems is notoriously hard … building a distributed team, even more so. This talk dives into the details of how Elastic is thriving on its distributed model:

• How Elastic started to be distributed by design.
• What our shared values are and what we have learned as we progressed and grew to our current size.
• What the day of an Elastician can look like.
• What we are using in terms of tooling.
• How we hire and onboard new employees.
