Book Description
In Elastic Search AI Platform, you will learn to deliver fast, reliable Search, Observability, and Security solutions with Elasticsearch in the age of AI. The book starts by demystifying the platforms moving parts including indices, ingestion, pipelines, vector search, and deployments so you know what to use and why. You will practice the essentials through small, self contained exercises and build up to full workflows that ship to production. Next you will go deep on ES QL, Elastics new query language, and the AI and ML features that matter in real systems such as embeddings, hybrid retrieval, RAG patterns, anomaly detection, and model inference. Each chapter walks you through ingesting data, setting sensible defaults, measuring performance, and adding the right dose of automation. You will apply the same disciplined approach across Elastics three solution areas Search, Observability, and Security configuring them end to end and enhancing them with AI. The book closes with battle tested reference architectures and checklists you can adapt to your stack, along with guidance for cost, scaling, and operations. By the end, you will have the skills and confidence to design, implement, and run Elastic solutions that work at speed and scale.
