[Special Edition] TiDB - AI memory and data management building from zero to scale - July 8th - 02Ship
The hardest part of building right now isn't the tools. It's finding the people who get it.
The ones shipping side projects before lunch. Rewriting how their team works with Claude Code. Quietly building the future and wondering if anyone else is too.
This meetup is that room. One night in Sydney.
This special edition goes deep on the part nobody puts in the demo: memory and data. Getting a prototype working on your laptop is the easy bit — making it remember, retrieve, and stay fast once real users show up is where most builds hit the wall. We'll get into how AI apps handle memory and data from zero to scale, with the team behind TiDB.
If you're doing the work, you belong here.
