Familiar Tools in Unknown Territory: Exploring GenAI with SpringAI and Testcontainers

As Generative AI (GenAI) takes the tech landscape by storm, developers are searching for practical ways to harness its potential. In this talk, we’ll explore how you can leverage tools you already know—Spring (together with the new SpringAI framework), PostgreSQL, and Testcontainers—to dive into the world of GenAI with ease and confidence. We’ll demonstrate how PostgreSQL using the PGVector open-source extension can serve as a powerful engine for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), enabling smarter AI solutions with real-time data access. Alongside that, Testcontainers will be used to streamline local development and testing, offering a simple, containerized environment. By the end, you’ll see how combining these familiar technologies can accelerate your journey in building and deploying GenAI solutions, making the future of AI accessible and developer-friendly.Level:IntermediateRate - Login requiredShareTags:
