Welcome back to the show floor here at dot Local London for
what is actually the final time we're pretty much done loose.
We are. It's flown by it.
Has it's gone really quickly? 20 odds, 10 minute sessions with
guests and different hosts and stuff.
How was it for you? Busy, but really enjoyable.
There's been a lot of interesting conversations,
hasn't there? When we've learned so many
(00:27):
different things about things we're releasing, we can talk
about now. It is always good.
Yeah. It's a bit of an embargo that we
can't talk about these things and then, you know, they get
short mention, as I said on the keynotes.
But it was great to dive down inwith most of the people who were
presented the detailed slots later on today.
You had some of the Champions upas well, too.
How did that go? It was good.
(00:48):
So I only went to 1 champion, but it was it was great and like
our community champions are someof my favorite parts of Mongo DB
because they'll see they're external and they're choosing to
use their time to do amazing things and advocate for us.
So I love giving them a platformto not only hear the stories,
the amazing things that they achieve, but also just, you
know, talk about what they've done and give an opportunity to
(01:09):
hear about it. Because but the interview I did
with Nilesh, she was talking about some benchmarking he did
for POC where he replaced Elasticsearch without the search
and all these delays that are fixed and these requests per
second. He could do so much better than
Mongo DB. You know, it just blew my mind.
I was like, wow, we need to write about this and tell
people. I know it's brilliant and for me
in particular, as I was saying to a couple of the guests, you
(01:31):
know, I'm in awe of the people who build Mongo DB.
We use Mongo DB in Labella. Yes, we use Mongo DB as
developers, but it's another level altogether.
The people who are building the under hood infrastructure and at
the scale that they do it with the performance and the
resiliency and everything that Sahir mentioned in that 8.0
(01:52):
right. Oh yeah.
And I I'm with you. I'm in awe of so many different
parts of the business, to be honest, because everyone plays a
part. Like you say, the engineers that
build these things and find these amazing particular
improvements or the people in the product side of it who just
have this incredible vision and imaginations do all these
things. And so like you say, we should
have used Mongo DB a little bit as developers day-to-day.
Like I write code samples and solots of the tools that we've
(02:16):
learned about today, like the Intellij plug in and the VS Code
Copilot, go Copilot extension, all of that makes my life
easier. But I don't always think of
these things until someone goes,oh, we've got this new product
or feature right now you can use.
And I'm like, oh, I love this. Yeah, I know.
It's astounding what they keep producing and with all of the,
you know, the dot locals were doing around the world, the kind
(02:38):
of stream of announcements that we have, each of the like it at
all of them. There's something new.
You know, it used to be a one ortwo times a year affair and we
dropped everything. But now it's like we're dripping
everything out over the course of the year.
And as per some of the guests, Iwas saying, well, you know,
yeah, 8 dot O is out. They're already working on the
next version. They have been for a long time,
(02:59):
you know, so it never ends. What we saw on the keynote.
I don't know, like I had to write it down with stream
processing, Atlas CLI, local experience VS Copilot.
You mentioned integration, Intellij and a lot of the Gen.
AI stuff. More the vector search
quantization there as well too. A little bit of the details of
(03:19):
our map program. And then really interesting is
the app modernization, you know,taking the relational migrator
and everything else that was involved in that and showcasing
how that helps developers, you know, do less of the mundane
work, how that helps them take their legacy applications and
bring them right up to speed. Absolutely.
(03:40):
And as in the interview that I just did with Jeff and Luca from
industry solutions teams, they were talking about how they've
used AI and as part of that modernization in the insurance
industry. And about how not just from a
customers on the website perspective, but from the
perspective of the actual agentsof the insurance company, the
way that so much time can be saved by having all these
features available to them in their products.
(04:02):
So, yeah, and they were saying that data, you know, databases,
a lot of them relational are not, you know, historically
relational database, tabular databases are kind of bursting
at the scene. So by having all these app
modernisation things, you can start to move over and like say
relational migrator. I did a showcase demo this
morning of developer calling andone of the things I showed off
was relational migrator. And some people haven't even
(04:23):
heard of it. And I think there's quite a bit
of the room suddenly definitely scribbling just like, oh, you
know, this thing's amazing. And I was showing I was just
using. When you open relational
Migrator, you can create a project where you can do it in
different ways, either to a livedatabase or importing a file, or
you can actually do it with somesample schema.
So if you don't have anything yet or you don't want to start
messing with your data, you can just get please, yeah, just just
(04:46):
test it out, try it out and get.You can recommend schemas to you
can visualize the schema. It can make some suggestions.
You can edit it as you go like you know, and that and that's,
you know, relational migration in terms of the history of Mongo
DB is quite a new product and italready does so many amazing
things. So like you say, you know, we've
already we've only just released8.0, we're already starting on
(05:06):
9.0. I don't even know any secrets.
I can tease you like I don't know anything, but it excites me
all the things that we're going to do coming up in the next year
or more. And all they say direct feed
over the course of different dotlocals and just help developers
in developer efficiency and developer productivity and just
make life easier. Because as I say, I write code
day today and if I can have a bit of fun making my life
(05:26):
easier, amazing. Well.
That's it. I mean, I think Sahir started
off with developer accelerationsand that's what it's all about
is making developers lives easier, more productive, you
know, making kind of, I suppose them just concentrate on the
skills that they have creating the best applications and and
taking away all of Bell out of the set earlier, the mundane
(05:47):
pieces. I suppose above all, obviously
our key announcement today was the general availability of 8.0
as so here said, it's the best version of our database with the
resilience and the scalability and the security and the
performance and so that's the key take away do check that out
it's available check out all theother products I know for one
I'm going to have to watch some of the I hate watching myself
(06:08):
back, but I'm going to have to watch some of the live stream to
catch up on yeah on all of the bits and pieces that we might
have missed. We are nearly done here in
London. Not quite.
We still have an amazing AI bills together for two hours
later on where we're getting anybody who's interested in
creating generative AI applications really in a
brainstorming session. So it's like a, you know, it's a
(06:29):
posted in paper and wall type exercise scenario.
So if you are here and you want to join that, by all means do.
There's also a small matter of the happy hour that's.
Well, we know where you'll be. But yeah, behind us and so hence
the noise has picked up in the room somewhat and but we aren't
done with that locals yet. We still have 3 to go, yeah.
We have quite a. Few, so we got Sao Paulo and
(06:50):
Brazil that's in October 30th, Paris in November and the 19th
of November and the last one is Stockholm towards the end of
November on the 26th. So if you're joining us live and
you've been on LinkedIn earlier on YouTube with us during the
day, if you happen to be based near any of those cities, do try
and come along. It's, you know, might be a
(07:10):
smaller version of what you go here, but you're going to see
the same access to experts, to great keynote sessions and great
learning with all of our key product managers and everybody
else who's presenting that, as well as the ability to network
with other developers. Definitely do try and do that.
I think we're nearly done. I think we got to say I'd like
(07:31):
to say thanks to you, Luce, and the other hosts as well too.
Last year, I had to mostly do this stream all on my own due to
poor Mike Lynn getting COVID so he couldn't travel.
So for you, Harshest and Mash and Mark as well too, thank you
so much for joining me. And thanks to Jesse and Pedro,
who did a lot of the backroom work to make all of this happen
(07:54):
and all of the organizing. And they've been diligently been
on in the early hours US time helping us out as well, too.
And I'd also like to thank Anden, the ITC team who've make
this all run so smoothly and make us all look so good despite
a minimal hair and makeup budgethere on this side of the desk.
But above all, thank you to all our viewers for joining us
(08:16):
throughout the day. Do remember to like and
subscribe on YouTube. Obviously got to get the call
in. Absolutely.
Follow us on LinkedIn because that's where most of these
announcements go out as well too.
Luce Richmond, myself, Jesse Powell and others live stream
very regularly. So if you do like and subscribe
and do follow us, you'll get thenotifications for the other live
(08:39):
streams that we do, right? Absolutely.
And I think we're going to have some of the great guests and
today come on as well later to do to read the longer segment.
Yeah, I think I've twisted most of their arms to take more than
a job. It's to explain it to us.
So look from the show floor hereat that local London.
I think that's all. So for me, Shane McAllister.
From me, please, Carter. Thank you all and everyone at
(08:59):
Mongo to be here. Thank you all for joining us and
we really had a great day. We've a lot to absorb, but right
now, happy hours kicking off, that's where I'm headed.
Take care.
