Ready to break free from vendor lock-in while keeping your MongoDB skills? Discover DocumentDB—the open-source, MongoDB-compatible database built on PostgreSQL that lets you deploy anywhere, from your laptop to multi-cloud Kubernetes clusters. In this hands-on session, you'll see how to go from zero to production in 60 minutes. We'll start by spinning up DocumentDB locally with Docker, connect through VS Code, and build modern applications with vector search for AI workloads. You'll learn how to optimize queries with AI-powered Index Advisor, then scale up to production with automated CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions. But we won't stop at single-cloud deployment. You'll see live demonstrations of deploying DocumentDB across both Azure AKS and AWS EKS, complete with automated failover between clouds. No more worrying about regional outages or being locked into a single provider. You'll walk away knowing how to: * Set up a complete local development environment in under 5 minutes * Build AI-powered features with built-in vector search * Use Index Advisor to automatically optimize slow queries * Deploy to Kubernetes on any cloud provider * Implement cross-cloud failover for true high availability Build CI/CD pipelines that test against real DocumentDB instances Whether you're migrating from MongoDB, starting a new project, or exploring multi-cloud architectures, this session will give you the practical knowledge and working code to ship faster with DocumentDB. All demos use real code you can take home and deploy today.
