From RAGs to Resilient:
Build Resilient GenAI Applications using CockroachDB
May 8th 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
What is this event?
Join us for an immersive, hands-on event designed to explore how you can build robust, reliable, and resilient Generative AI (GenAI) applications using CockroachDB. Learn from experts, industry leaders, and your peers about the essentials of building resilient systems that are GenAI ready for your applications and leveraging advanced database capabilities to ensure resilience and scalability.
What we'll cover:
CockroachDB Fundamentals: Core concepts and how they support resilient application development.
Introducing Vectors with CockroachDB: Understanding vector data, embedding methods, and integration techniques.
Building RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) Applications: Selecting appropriate AI models, designing efficient search systems, embedding queries effectively, and leveraging CockroachDB to store and retrieve vector data.
CockroachDB Innovations for GenAI: Explore latest enhancements, including Locality-Aware Data Replication (LDR), Partitioned Consistent Replication (PCR), pgvector support, and AWS Bedrock use.
Real-world Customer Experiences and Panel Discussions: Insights and practical advice from customers who've successfully implemented CockroachDB in their GenAI solutions, followed by an expert panel exploring strategies and best practices.
