For this this episode, we're revisiting our chat with Sebastian Witalec from Weaviate. Sebastian spoke to us last year about his work at the company and his role as head of DevRel. Weaviate is rather popular in the AI space. It's an open source vector database that allows you to store data and vector embeddings from machine learning models. It's similar to putting information on an XY plane. Similar data points will have similar coordinates. This makes it easier to organise and use your data. We won't get too technical in this description, but safe to say Richard ensures that all the nerdy questions are answered during the episode. So Weaviate is a database; does this mean it's similar to the document stores of fifteen years ago? Well funnily enough, Sebastian's previous role to this one was DevRel at MongoDB. A year and a half ago, he met the CEO of Weaviate and had that lightbulb moment. He knew that this was a brand new way of doing data storage. So he jumped to Weaviate, and sure enough, a year and a half later, vector databases are all anyone is talking about, and Sebastian gets to be at the forefront of it. One of the most important things to Weaviate, and Sebastian personally, is joy. They want to not only create with it, but for people to experience it when they use Weaviate to build. They want their developers to take joy in their work and they believe that their wider community should be just as important as their customers. This is a really special perspective to have, and we were so glad Sebastian decided to join us for this discussion.
