Traditional keyword search retrieves documents containing the exact words entered by the user. Semantic search goes further by understanding the meaning and intent behind a query, allowing it to find relevant content even when different terminology is used. In this practical meetup, we will explore how semantic search works and implement it using MongoDB and Voyage AI. We will introduce vector embeddings, embedding models, multidimensional vector spaces, and similarity measurements such as cosine similarity, Euclidean distance, and dot product. Using Python, Voyage AI, and MongoDB Atlas, we will generate embeddings for document data, store them directly alongside MongoDB documents, create a vector search index, convert user queries into embeddings, and execute semantic searches. We will also examine how reranking models improve the ordering and relevance of the initial search results.

Come with questions; there will be time for discussion. Prior knowledge is not required. Whether you're brand new to MongoDB and Semantic Search or already using it daily, you'll leave with practical tools you can apply right away.

Join us as we explore service discovery design patterns in microservices architecture. We’ll discuss client-side discovery, server-side discovery, service registries, self-registration, and third-party registration, and understand how services locate each other when instances, containers, and network addresses change dynamically. This meetup will be delivered in English.

Claude Skills make it possible to extend Claude with reusable instructions, workflows, and specialized capabilities. In this meetup, attendees will learn how to design and develop their own Claude Skills, structure them effectively, define clear instructions, and test their behavior in real conversations. We’ll also explore practical use cases, common design patterns, and techniques for creating Skills that make Claude more consistent, capable, and useful across different tasks.
