Your Work, Your Cause: Elastic Stack Use Cases

Past Awards

For 2019, we expanded the Elastic Search Awards, formerly known as the Elastic Cause Awards, to recognize more than just those using the Elastic Stack for good causes. We're now celebrating customers and users of the Elastic Stack that are doing something technically unique or unheard of, in addition to recognizing those that have dramatically transformed their organizations and businesses with the Elastic Stack.

Some of the previous Elastic Cause Award winners included a variety of projects for making the world a better place, such as eHealth Africa using the Elastic Stack to monitor and curb Ebola outbreaks in West Africa; IST Research using the Elastic Stack to aggregate data to combat human trafficking and violent extremism; and, NoSchool Violence.org developed an app using the Elastic Stack to assist parents, mental health professionals, and others to make connections between specific observable behaviors and potential youth violence.
