MongoDB has recently announced the public preview of its Embedding and Reranking API on MongoDB Atlas. The new API gives developers direct access to Voyage AI’s search models within the managed cloud database, enabling them to create features such as semantic search and AI-powered assistants within a single integrated environment, with consolidated monitoring and billing.
Thiago Ghisi discusses the strategic evolution required to lead 100+ engineers without breaking the organization. He explains his "Three Levels of Impact" framework and shares practical lessons on speeding up decision-making, cultivating leadership teams, and building organizational resilience. Learn why he views reorgs as a continuous deployment feature rather than a one-time traumatic event.
Airbnb expands its global checkout with the “Pay as a Local” initiative, supporting over 20 locally preferred payment methods across 220 markets. The company replatformed its payments system with domain-oriented services, reusable flow archetypes, and a centralized configuration, enhancing integration speed, reliability, testing, and observability for diverse payment methods worldwide.
