My Experience at OpenSearchCon 2025 - Bengaluru

Hello Everyone,

This is my second event, where I am travelling to Bengaluru to attend OpenSearchCon.

First and foremost, the weather in Bangalore is amazing and very appealing. Now, regarding the event, I have met around 20 to 30 people so far, and I have learned a lot from them.

I asked questions around Kubernetes clusters and nodes. I learned how nodes are created and how code is deployed to production environments.

First effective chat was with Engineers at Amazon, who got placed from on-campus placements, and I got to know that, right now, I am on the right path to building a Startup. Right now, I can learn from the challenges and if nothing goes as planned. We will discover the other way.

I had an inspiring chat with a girl my age who works at Uber. The depth of her questions showed how much she's grown by working with top engineers. It gave me another reason to attend such meetups—people like her inspire me.

Another talk I had with a sir from Atlassian. We had a chat about how things work in real life. He kindly introduced me to the concept of identifying problems. As I reached out to multiple people, he kindly encouraged me to ask about their problems instead of just pitching our product. He guided me to ask questions like, How do you store the data? How do you get the useful data?
Because everyone who collects the data, how do they filters out the necessary data from the dataset and adds the value.

After that, I had a chat with the engineers at AWS. We brainstormed a lot about the startup I am working for and tried to understand how we are adding value to the client’s organisation.

And then I had a chat with an architect at Apple. Very kind person. He told me how things worked at Apple, how environments work at Apple. The answer is dynamic. We can’t tell how things work in one static answer. I have to read about how the pre-prod environments for the devs work.

I asked almost everyone who got into an MNC whether they studied Data Structures and Algorithms. The answer was a unanimous and resounding 'YES.'

Not for the sake of grinding. But this will help us to write code and gradually write code as a senior developer.

Also, I connected with the engineer at IBM. He had given me the advice about DSA that practice DSA like you start getting the patterns that which pattern is actually being used.

Malleshwaram, Bengaluru — felt like home. A rickshaw driver treated me like his youger brother, showing me around the city with warmth.

Thank you, Bengaluru, for the warm welcome. The weather, the people and the perfect time.

Yeah everyone, that’s it. Love what you do. You don’t need to do all the things which are buzz right now. First, do learn the stuff which are required and then learn the things to enhance your knowledge.
