Developer Advocate Megha Arora went to Datahack Summit in Bangalore as our first Generative AI conference in the region. She spoke on how to build a production-ready LLM application using MongoDB Atlas, showcasing Atlas Triggers and Vector Search.
We recently met up for our Chennai MUG and had sessions on MongoDB’s Vector Search, building AWS cloud and serverless applications locally with LocalStack, transforming AI deployment, and decoding Generative AI’s journey from input to output.
Many thanks to our speakers: @jeyaraj, @Rishi_Agrawal, @Harsh_Mishra2, and @Manikandan_Shanmuga. And of course, thank you to the event leaders, Rishi, Jeyaraj, and Ijas, who organized the event in collaboration with LocalStack.
