"Building distributed systems is notoriously hard … building a distributed team even more so. At Elastic — the company behind the open source tools Elasticsearch, Kibana, Beats, and Logstash — everything is distributed; both the company and all our products. I will tell you how we do it," promises Philipp Krenn from Vienna, Austria. He is part of the infrastructure team and a developer advocate at Elastic.
