MUG Jakarta x Confluent NOV 2026 - RAG with MongoDB & Integrating External Systems with Kafka Clients
Building Smarter AI Applications and Connecting Systems Through Data 🚀
The MongoDB User Group Jakarta × Confluent Community Meetup is coming to Garuda Spark Innovation Hub (GSIH), Jakarta!
How can we build smarter AI applications that deliver more relevant and context-aware responses? And how can we connect different systems to enable seamless data integration and event-driven architectures?
This meetup brings together the tech community to explore the intersection of AI, MongoDB, and Apache Kafka through two technical sessions led by industry practitioners. From leveraging data to power Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to integrating external systems with Kafka Clients, participants will gain insights into practical approaches to building modern, data-driven applications.
Whether you're a software engineer, QA engineer, tech lead, student, or technology enthusiast, this meetup is an opportunity to learn, exchange ideas, and connect with fellow practitioners in Jakarta.

Session Details📝
1. RAG with MongoDB
How can AI applications provide responses that are more relevant, accurate, and context-aware?
In this session, Zuber Khatib, Chief Solutions Officer (CSO) at Xquisite AI, will explore Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and how it leverages data to enhance AI-generated responses.
Discover how MongoDB can support RAG-based applications by enabling AI systems to retrieve relevant information and use it as context when generating responses. This session will introduce practical concepts for developers looking to build AI applications grounded in their data.
2. Integrating External Systems with Kafka Clients
Modern applications often need to communicate with multiple external systems and process data across different services. How can we connect these systems efficiently and build more flexible architectures?
In this session, Bayu Alvian, Founder of Kodehive, will explore how Kafka Clients enable integration with external systems and support data exchange through Apache Kafka.
Learn about the role of Kafka Clients in connecting applications, facilitating data integration, and supporting event-driven architectures. This session is relevant for developers and technology practitioners interested in building systems that communicate reliably across different services.
Join us for an evening of technical learning, knowledge sharing, and community networking. Whether you're exploring AI development or working with distributed systems, there's something to take away from both sessions.
