About the program

Learn by Building

Developer Days put hands-on development at the center. Work through practical challenges and build real AI application patterns in deeply technical workshops.

Apply It to Your Workload

Work one-to-one with Oracle experts to apply the patterns to your own workload, validate design choices, and explore trade-offs. Leave with practical recommendations and clear next steps for implementation.

Who should attend

  • Primary audience

    Application developers, software engineers, full stack developers, technical leads building AI apps, and solution architects.

  • Best fit for

    Teams actively writing code, evaluating modern data & AI architectures, and modernizing or simplifying existing architectures.

Example Topics

Data fundamentals for AI apps

Convergence of JSON, graph, time-series, and vector data; similarity functions and vector search; and what changes when an LLM reads your data instead of a person.

Building RAG and agentic apps

An end-to-end production-style RAG pipeline extended into an agentic workflow: ingestion, chunking, vector search, retrieval, response generation and multi-step agents.

Memory engineering for AI agents

Episodic, semantic and procedural memory assembled into bounded working memory through context cards, with persistent state, recall, compaction and hybrid retrieval.

Model the domain, not the engine

Why patterns like bucketing, subset, and computed fields exist, which engine constraints they work around, and how a converged model changes the approach.

JSON Duality & the MongoDB API

Use mongosh and existing MongoDB drivers with 26ai, then query the same data with SQL, joins, and vectors. Covers Duality Views, hybrid modeling, and single-table design.

Build a converged content app

Build a small content service end-to-end on a live 26ai instance. Model JSON data, add full-text search and graph relationships, then query across metadata, documents, text, and graph in one converged query.

Optional Office Hours

One-hour sessions with individual developers or full development teams.

  • Application architecture review

    Entity models, access patterns, and data-layer design. Migration paths from current state to a converged platform.

  • AI/agentic systems design

    Agentic system architecture across context, harness, and memory. RAG pipeline strategy and tool integration patterns.

  • Migration and modernization

    Infrastructure consolidation roadmap, polyglot reduction strategy, and ways to reduce complexity without disrupting existing workloads.

    • How can we get started?

      Send us an e-mail at devrel_mb@oracle.com and we’ll get back to you. Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

    • What is the event format?

      We offer in-person, hybrid, and virtual options. The workshop environment will be provided. Office hours are also held in-person, hybrid, and virtual formats. You can request just a Developer Day, just office hours, or a combination of both.

    • Are there any limitations on who can request a developer day?

      We offer Developer Days as a global program. The program is the best fit for enterprise technical teams who are actively writing code, evaluating modern data and AI architectures, and modernizing or simplifying existing architectures.

    • Do we need an existing Oracle Cloud tenancy?

      No, the workshop environment will be provided.

    • What does it cost to participate?

      Oracle offers Developer Days as an investment in our customers. We don’t charge a monetary fee, we only ask for your time.

    • What topics can we cover?

      Link to the example topics and explain that the agenda is tailored to the team’s use cases and goals.

    • How long is a Developer Day?

      A Developer Day can be anywhere from a half day to two full days depending on the format and topics selected. We will work with you to customize your agenda.

    • What should participants bring or prepare?

      Get ready to be hands on, and bring your laptop and questions for us.
