A Preview of SQL in Canvas with Rashid, Creator of Kibana

Rashid Khan, the creator of Kibana, presented a preview of Canvas at the Elastic{ON} 2018 conference, demonstrating its capability to create custom infographic-inspired visualizations using SQL. Canvas is described as a flexible and creative platform for live data visualization, allowing users to connect elements to data and configure them through a simple UI. During his demo, Rashid used data from slot car races to show various driver performances by creating dynamic charts with SQL. He illustrated how maximum speed does not always equate to the fastest lap completion, emphasizing the importance of balancing pace and speed. The session also highlighted upcoming features in Kibana, including improvements in accessibility, user interfaces, and solutions for logging and metrics deployment, alongside exploring geo-capabilities in Elasticsearch and Kibana.
