We will be launching the Canberra MongoDB User Group on Wednesday 25th October - in conjunction with our friends at AWS.
We are delighted to announce that we will be joined by Shahab Qamar from the National Film and Sound Archives (NFSA)!
MongoDB Atlas @ NFSA – From Ideation to Production
How MongoDB helped NFSA model its catalogue data into MongoDB Atlas, covering:
- Going from SQL to the Document mental model.
- Designing the ETL, search indexes, facets, public API and the frontend (AWS EC2, Cloudfront, WAF, CloudWatch and ELB) and React frontend development (AWS Amplify).
- The MongoDB Atlas developer experience.
- Exploring data using MongoDB Charts.
- Beyond full-text search/future: Exploration of vector search support in MongoDB for generative AI.
