Andhavarapu

Abhishek Andhavarapu is a software engineer at eBay who enjoys working on highly scalable distributed systems. He has a master's degree in Distributed Computing and has worked on multiple enterprise Elasticsearch applications, which are currently serving hundreds of millions of requests per day. He began his journey with Elasticsearch in 2012 to build an analytics engine to power dashboards and quickly realized that Elasticsearch is like nothing out there for search and analytics. He has been a strong advocate since then and wrote this book to share the practical knowledge he gained along the way.
