Let's talk about our history. How we started the project with a small vector database of less than 2 million records. Later, we received a request for +100 million records, then another +100... And so gradually we reached almost 1 billion. Standard tools were quickly running out of steam - we were running into performance, index size, and very limited resources. After a long series of trials and errors, we built our own low-cost cluster, which today stably processes thousands of queries to more than 1B vectors.The Future of Technology: 2025-2125 by Saikat Basu.pdf

The community meetup was held Wednesday June 18, 2025 @ 9:00 AM PST.
Catch the next OpenMetadata Community Meetup @ https://www.meetup.com/openmetadata-meetup-group/
In this month's OpenMetadata Community Meetup, "Enforcing Quality & SLAs with OpenMetadata Data Contracts," we covered data contracts, why they matter, and how to implement them in OpenMetadata to increase the quality of your data assets!
Agenda Highlights:
Introducing Data Contracts: An agreement between data producers and consumers
Data Contracts key components: Understanding a contract and its purpose
ｨ Writing your first contract: How to create your own contracts in OpenMetadata
An OpenMetadata MCP Server update!

Design patterns like Event Sourcing and Event Streaming have long become standards for building real-time analytics systems. However, when the system load becomes nonlinear with fast and often unpredictable spikes, it's crucial to respond quickly in order not to lose real-time operating itself.
In this talk, Ill share my experience implementing and using a tool like Temporal.io. We'll explore the evolution of our system for maintaining real-time report generation and discuss how we use Temporal both for short-lived pipelines and long-running background tasks.OWASP Barcelona 2025 Threat Model Library

In this presentation, we want to explore powerful data integration and preparation for Machine Learning. FME is known for its ability to manipulate and transform geospatial data, connecting diverse data sources into efficient and automated workflows. By integrating FME with Machine Learning techniques, it is possible to transform raw data into valuable insights faster and more accurately, enabling intelligent analysis and data-driven decision making.AI Agents and FME: A How-to Guide on Generating Synthetic Metadata

In the world of AI agents, semantics is king. Good metadata is thus essential in an organization's AI readiness checklist. But how do we keep up with the massive influx of new data? In this talk we go over the tips and tricks in generating synthetic metadata for the consumption of human users and AI agents alike.9-1-1 Addressing: End-to-End Automation Using FME

This session will cover a common use case for local and state/provincial governments who create and/or maintain their 9-1-1 addressing data, particularly address points and road centerlines. In this session, you'll learn how FME has helped Shelby County 9-1-1 (TN) automate the 9-1-1 addressing process; including automatically assigning attributes from disparate sources, on-the-fly QAQC of said data, and reporting. The FME logic that this presentation will cover includes: Table joins using attributes and geometry, Looping in custom transformers, Working with lists and Change detection.Wenn alles versagt - IBM Tape sch端tzt, was z辰hlt!

In todays dynamic digital landscape, ensuring the quality and dependability of web applications is essential. While Selenium has been a longstanding solution for automating browser tasks, the integration of WebdriverIO (WDIO) with Selenium and JavaScript marks a significant advancement in automation testing. WDIO enhances the testing process by offering a robust interface that improves test creation, execution, and management. This amalgamation capitalizes on the strengths of both tools, leveraging Seleniums broad browser support and WDIOs modern, efficient approach to test automation. As automation testing becomes increasingly vital for faster development cycles and superior software releases, WDIO emerges as a versatile framework, particularly potent when paired with JavaScript, making it a preferred choice for contemporary testing teams."Database isolation: how we deal with hundreds of direct connections to the d...

What can go wrong if you allow each service to access the database directly? In a startup, this seems like a quick and easy solution, but as the system scales, problems appear that no one could have guessed.
In my talk, I'll share Solidgate's experience in transforming its architecture: from the chaos of direct connections to a service-based data access model. I will talk about the transition stages, bottlenecks, and how isolation affected infrastructure support. I will honestly show what worked and what didn't. In short, we will analyze the controversy of this talk.Enhance GitHub Copilot using MCP - Enterprise version.pdf

The SQLExecutor is one of FMEs most powerful and flexible transformers. Pivvot maintains a robust internal metadata hierarchy used to support ingestion and curation of thousands of external data sources that must be managed for quality before entering our platform. By using the SQLExecutor, Pivvot can efficiently detect problems and perform analysis before data is extracted from our staging environment, removing the need for rollbacks or cycles waisted on a failed job. This presentation will walk through three distinct examples of how Pivvot uses the SQLExecutor to engage its metadata hierarchy and integrate with its Data Quality Management workflows efficiently and within the source postgres database. Spatial Validation Validating spatial prerequisites before entering a production environment. Reference Data Validation - Dynamically validate domain-ed columns across any table and multiple columns per table. Practical De-duplication - Removing identical or near-identical well point locations from two distinct source datasets in the same table.Quantum AI: Where Impossible Becomes Probable
