In a new video and blog series titled "People Who Ship," hosted by Apoorva Joshi, Senior AI Developer Advocate at MongoDB, developers share behind-the-scenes insights into building and deploying AI applications using MongoDB. The series targets developers by offering practical lessons and tools, with an initial focus on Central RAG, a centralized infrastructure for building Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) chatbots and copilots, spearheaded by John Ziegler, MongoDB's Engineering Lead. The series emphasizes the importance of enforcing data access controls, anchoring evaluations to specific problems, and educating users about AI capabilities and limitations. Concurrently, MongoDB and Capgemini are showcased as partners in helping businesses modernize their data infrastructure to integrate AI seamlessly. The collaboration aims to overcome challenges like data fragmentation and lack of AI-ready infrastructure, facilitating the development of AI-driven applications in various industries. Additionally, a leadership transition at MongoDB is announced, with Dev Ittycheria stepping down as CEO in favor of Chirantan “CJ” Desai, who brings extensive experience from ServiceNow and Cloudflare to guide MongoDB into its next growth phase.
