Tinder: Using the Elastic Stack to Make Connections Around the World

Maria Zhang

Vice President, Engineering

Tinder

With more than 26 million swipes daily, Tinder connects more people one-on-one and in real time than any other mobile app in the world. Behind the minimalist UI and elegant “swipe right, swipe left” that Tinder pioneered are tremendous challenges of data science, machine learning, and global scalability.

Hear how Tinder relies on the Elastic Stack to analyze, visualize, and predict not only a) which people a user will swipe right on, or b) which people will swipe right on that user, but c) when there’s a mutual swipe match. Tinder’s VP of Engineering will describe how the service is growing into a global platform for social discovery in many facets of life.
