Spoke at @PGConfIndia on using #PostgreSQL + vectors to find the best coffee ☕. Big thanks to @clairegiordano for the shout out & everyone for the great energy! Also, yes, caffeine levels were high. 😆 @AzureDBPostgres #PostGIS #VectorSearch
Claire Giordano ✨@clairegiordano

On the big ballroom stage at @PGConfIndia in Bengaluru is @iVarund from the @AzureDBPostgres team giving his talk about “Using Postgres to locate the best coffee near you!” And to teach us about how to use #PostgreSQL with vectors for semantic search, Varun used data about local coffeeshops, a local delivery service called Zomato, a cameo by Dora the Explorer, vector comparisons by @pamelafox … and apparently Varun himself had several (!!) coffees before getting up on stage. All in all a quite good session with a ton of audience involvement.

@frederikspang @AzureDBPostgres PG18 MVU support is actively progressing across regions, including North Europe. You should start seeing the upgrade option become available later today as the regional updates complete.

@sjivan @AzureDBPostgres Thanks for raising this @sjivan - interesting extension and use case. It would be great if you could also log this on the Azure PostgreSQL Feedback Forum (aka.ms/pgfeedback) with a brief scenario on how you’d use 'pg_textsearch'. That helps us prioritize.
