Your database is more powerful than you think. Learn how built-in vector capabilities can power your GenAI applications and save you from the hassle of adopting a new database. The heart of Generative AI (GenAI) workloads rely on the ability of computers to categorize and understand the world's data (images, sounds, text) as numerical representations called vectors. This is achieved through a process called "embedding," where a model translates the data into vectors.

Aiven offers managed Valkey, an open source NoSQL database compatible with legacy OSS Redis* perfect for caching, message queues, and more. Today Aiven is launching Aiven for Valkey to give customers a fully open source Redis alternative. Aiven for Caching will remain available to existing customers, but due to recent Redis licensing changes, it will remain on Redis 7.2.4. Valkey is a fork of OSS Redis, version 7.2.5, maintained by the Linux Foundation and is fully backwards compatible with Redis.

Discover the two simple steps you can take to secure your open source dependency chain. Open-source software (OSS) has become the backbone of modern software development, empowering developers with a vast ecosystem of freely available libraries, frameworks and tools. However, as the old saying goes, ‘there's no such thing as a free lunch’, and the over reliance on OS components introduces significant security risks that can compromise the entire software supply chain.

Enabling secure and performant multi-tenant analytics for your PostgreSQL® deployments on Aiven's data platform. In the realm of multi-tenant Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, managing a centralized PostgreSQL® database for multiple customers can present challenges in maintaining secure segregation of their data. While a single database offers infrastructure efficiency, it becomes crucial to ensure each organization has isolated access and control over their information.

In this workshop we’ll work together to generate embeddings for podcast transcriptions and load that data into OpenSearch. Then we’ll search the documents using similarity search and use those results to improve our responses from an LLM (Large Language Model). Along the way we’ll explain the Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) pattern and show how it’s possible to try different LLMs without having to completely rewrite your code.

In this session, we will show how to leverage Aiven for Dragonfly and Aiven for AI. First, we’ll discuss how to increase your throughput and reduce memory usage by 25% compared to open-source Redis. Then explore scalability, efficiency, and advanced capabilities ideal for caching, gaming leaderboards, messaging, AI applications, and more. After that, we’ll jump into Aiven’s latest AI use cases and cover.
