Amidst the vibrant atmosphere of San Francisco's Exploratorium during the Elastic{ON} 16 kickoff party, attendees were humorously asked to imagine a life without Elasticsearch, a tool integral to many of their daily operations. Participants expressed that without Elasticsearch, their lives would be significantly disrupted, with some joking about the tears and slower pace they would experience. This lighthearted inquiry was captured in a short video at the Elasticsearch user conference, showcasing the deep reliance and affection users have for the technology.
