Vectorize Your Thoughts. Amplify Elastic.
Write. Share. Influence Search.
The Elastic Blogathon 2026 invites developers, architects, and creators to explore the future of search through vectors.
This campaign aims to build a powerful library of community-created blogs that highlight how vectors are transforming search, storage, retrieval, and GenAI applications — all powered by Elastic.
If you’re passionate about vector search, RAG, or building smarter AI-driven experiences, this is your moment to write, share, and get recognized.
This year’s blogathon explores how vectors are transforming search and data intelligence.
Under “Vectorized Thinking,” participants will write about real-world applications of vector search, RAG, and agentic AI built with Elastic. It’s all about showcasing how vectors power smarter, context-driven search.
Every vector has a story — share yours.
Write under any of these tracks:
1. Getting Started with Vectors in Elastic
Setup guides • Architecture • First steps
2. Building RAG Pipelines
Integrating Elastic with LLMs • RAG workflows
3. Optimizing Vector Search
Performance tuning • Hybrid search • Scaling vectors
4. Innovations in Vector Databases
Benchmarks • Comparisons • Experiments
5. Creative Use-Cases
Security • Observability • E-commerce search
6. Elastic’s Agent Builder
Build agents and AI applications with Elastic’s Agent Builder
• Why Elasticsearch is the best vector database
• Building a quick chat assistant using Elasticsearch as a vector DB
• RAG with Elasticsearch
• Elasticsearch: Best memory for agents
• How to do Hybrid Search right with Elastic
• Multimodal RAG + Elasticsearch
• Quantization benefits with Elastic
• Agentic Semantic Search
• Semantic Reranking with Elasticsearch (bonus for JinaAI reranker!)
• Agentic search powered by Elastic’s Agent Builder
We’re excited to announce the winners of the Blogathon — check out the list here.
