Welcome to issue number three hundred and thirty-sixth of Hashtag Jakarta EE!

At the Jakarta EE Platform call this week, Otavio gave a presentation about Jakarta NoSQL and why it matters for developers today, particularly in the context of Artificial Intelligence. Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is a technique to give the AI model more context by providing domain specific data and a vector databases is the most efficient way of providing this information. Jakarta NoSQL will provide access to NoSQL data stores, including vector databases in a standardised way.

I know it is a little early, but the work with JakartaOne Livestream 2026 has started a while ago. The program committee has been established and the CFP is about to start soon. Stay tuned to keep posted on when the CFP starts. The format will be the same as previous years, which means that we have around 10 talk slots available.
