Upcoming events (4+)
See all- SurrealDB and the WCC Platform: Practical Application in Real-World ProjectsLink visible for attendees
Getting Started with SurrealDB is a 3-part online workshops series hosted by Women Coding Community in collaboration with SurrealDB. During these hands-on workshops, Caroline Morton - software engineer and senior research fellow at SurrealDB - will demonstrate SurrealDB's functionality and use cases, both as a traditional relational database, as well as highlighting the additional features and benefits of a multi-model database.
In this session, we will take the concepts learned in the previous talk and apply them to the Women Coding Community (WCC) platform. We’ll explore how SurrealDB’s features can be used to meet some of the platform’s needs, such as facilitating basic database functions as well as vector search for matching mentors and mentees.This hands-on example will show how SurrealDB can help solve real-world problems, giving participants a better understanding of how the database can be applied to projects beyond theory. It’s a chance to see SurrealDB in action, tackling practical challenges in a real-world setting. This will build on what we covered in session 2.
