I just read this excellent thread on `/r/vectordatabase` debating Vector DBs vs native vector support inside general-purpose databases, and honestly, I think we already know how this story ends. 🧶 www.reddit.com/r/vectordata...

I just released version v0.7.4 of SRClient, a Go client for Schema Registry. This is a library that I created almost 6 years ago, and it is still helpful for Go developers building apps for Kafka. github.com/riferrei/src...

How many of you have been in a meeting where someone said, "We should use a vector database for this!" and everyone nodded, but you wondered... should we really? If this is you, then join me on October 13th at the @allthingsopen.bsky.social conference.

Hey there, Redis is hiring developer advocates 🥑 in London and San Francisco. If that person is you... well... even better! Reach out if you're interested!
If you're a software engineer seriously looking for ways to improve your coding experience, check out these two extensions.

LLMs' fanciness and increasing intelligence don't change the reality—ultimately, they're just API calls. As such, they suffer from the same problems as API calls, such as throttling, timeouts, and exponential delays. 🔌 ⚡️ ➡️ But you can use clever ways to make LLM calls faster.
➡️ Here is why you should come to Redis Released: 🎉 It's a free event. And key, there is a happy hour at the end. 🧠 Free hands-on workshops on building AI agents with memory. 💻 Bring your laptop + your questions to engineers at Redis. More below the video 🧶 👇🏻 😉

You may have seen the multiple variants of the Jet2 Holiday Meme at this point, right? Well, me too. I've watched so much that I've decided to do something useful with it. See below how to implement RAG with Redis using this meme 😅 #Redis #RAG #Jet2HolidayMeme #VectorDatabases
This weekend, I wrote a blog post explaining how to design a data system that handles entities with multiple attributes and complex relationships with #Redis #VectorSets. The result? Simpler design, simpler code, simpler maintenance. ➡️ Check it out: dev.to/redis/design...

Everybody's putting AI in their apps. They're stringing APIs together and sending the results down to the browser. But those APIs are expensive, the round trips are long, and there's a lot of data being exposed. Maybe there's a better way? www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBaG...
