34. Meetup Data Community Trójmiasto – Gdynia

Date:

Location: Gdynia, Poland

Speakers: Radoslaw Szulgo

The 34th Data Community Trójmiasto meetup met on 21 October 2026 at the DNV office in Gdynia. Evening format, free to attend: one talk on vector search in production, one on FabCon Barcelona, then pizza.

Radoslaw Szulgo — Vector Search: My Way or the Highway!

18:15–19:15. Vector search is in MongoDB Community Edition. That does not make it production-ready.

This was the first public presentation of Percona Search for MongoDB. Radoslaw walked the path from a proof of concept to running the stack on your own infrastructure: full-text, semantic, and hybrid search through RAG on familiar MongoDB data; the Day 2 problems that show up only in production (embedding pipelines, scale, authentication, monitoring, automation); and a reference architecture with automatic embeddings, enterprise authentication, and vector-index monitoring in PMM. The session closed with a live demo — a board-game search app on a working Percona Search stack.
