In this demo, Nisa Meshal (Customer Engineer, Google) introduces BM25 on AlloyDB & Cloud SQL. Key highlights include: Introducing the BM25 index's use case & comparing it with other supported indexes. A demo showcasing…
PouchDB is the reason a lot of us believed offline-first was practical at all. It landed in 2012 with a simple, powerful idea: run a database in the browser that speaks the CouchDB replication protocol, and let the two…
