Committing to Anomaly Detection Four Days Before AWS Announced It

The anomaly-detection repo under Open Distro for Elasticsearch was created on November 15th, 2019. My first commit landed a week later, on November 22nd — a small fix to the test workflow config, the kind of unglamorous CI plumbing that has to work before anyone can trust the rest of the repo. Four days after that, on November 26th, AWS published “Introducing real-time anomaly detection in Open Distro for Elasticsearch” and the plugin became public.

Open Distro for Elasticsearch launched on March 11th, 2019, and Alerting was one of the plugins that shipped on day one. Two weeks after that, on March 25th, I merged my first PR against it — support for Kibana 6.6.2. Over the next six months I kept shipping PRs against the alerting Kibana plugin, mostly chasing whatever Kibana version had just shipped: 6.7.1 in April, 7.0.1 in May, plus a steady stream of smaller fixes — where-clause support for visual monitors, a monitor update bug, moving the schedule field per UX feedback.
