What we’re about
The NYC NoSQL & NewSQL Group
is the world’s largest database Meetup!
All of our presentations are geared for a general-audience of people interested in database technologies; many events go into deep-tech but always include prerequisite knowledge so that all attendees (beginners to advanced) can expect to be able to grasp the concepts and leave much more knowledgeable.
This is the world's largest database community on Meetup, focusing on All Things Data.
Prior speakers have included:
- Creator of MySQL
- Both founders, CEO and CTO, of MongoDB
- Inventor of PHP
- Chief Technical Officer of the City of New York
- Founder of Microsoft Azure DocumentDB
- CEO of Couchbase
...and the list goes on...

Join us for a deep dive into the transformative potential of AI in the realm of NoSQL data platforms, from vector search to retrieval-augmented generation (RAG.)
This presentation will teach you about what is available within the AI landscape, exploring the variety of tools, models and frameworks available to developers today.
We will showcase real-world applications to illustrate how these technologies can be practically applied in everyday programming tasks and discuss how AI can be seamlessly integrated into development workflows using LangChain, an open-source framework designed to facilitate interactions between various AI components.
You will gain valuable insights and practical knowledge to help you on your journey to integrate sophisticated AI-driven content generation and enhance search functionalities in your applications.
Key highlights will include practical demonstrations on vector search and RAG, Retrieval-Augmented Generation.
• Vector Search: Learn how vector embeddings can revolutionize data retrieval, making it possible to find semantically related information beyond simple keyword matches.
• Retrieval-Augmented Generation: Discover how combining traditional LLMs with contextually relevant data can improve the quality and relevance of generated content.Developers have an unprecedented opportunity to leverage these advanced AI technologies as tools to enhance application functionality, improve user engagement and solve complex problems more efficiently. RSVP now to learn how you can benefit from AI and NoSQL.

• Srini V. Srinivasan CTO & Founder, Aerospike
• Tim Faulkes, Chief Developer Advocate, AerospikeIn this presentation, we will demonstrate how to embed vectors in a database with graph and key-value data, and leverage the combined search capabilities to solve complex application problems in a simple manner. We will describe strategies for replicating data across geographically dispersed locations to enhance regional performance and establish resilient disaster recovery protocols.
Vector databases are poised to revolutionize industries with their augmented semantic search and retrieval (RAG) capabilities. We can build much more powerful applications by combining the search and data modeling capabilities available across these data types when vector data search is supported as part of a multi-model database supporting graph and key-value data.
