Let’s talk about where data meets DevOps. If you spend your days managing schemas, automating migrations, tuning queries, or trying to keep databases stable through continuous delivery, this event’s for you. We’ll dig into what’s working (and what’s not) in the world of database DevOps: Automating database deployments and schema changes Version control and CI/CD for data systems Observability, monitoring, and performance optimization Managing data across hybrid or multi-cloud environments Balancing speed, reliability, and data integrity Integrating databases into modern DevOps workflows War stories from scaling, migrations, and real production challenges Come hang out with people who care about data and delivery, share what you’ve learned, and pick up a few ideas to make your next release safer and faster.

Don’t miss MariaDB’s session, RAG in production: challenges, techniques and solutions, presented by MariaDB Developer Relations Engineer, Alejandro Duarte:

You may have seen reports of AI models suggesting eating rocks or putting glue on pizza. RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) is an architecture designed to prevent these kinds of hallucinations. RAG contains two elements: a “retriever” (vector database) to obtain contextual information, and a generator (LLM) to produce the final response. It sounds simple, but implementing and deploying RAG in production has its own challenges. In this talk, you’ll learn about some of these challenges, as well as techniques to mitigate or eliminate them.
