Keynote Panel: Presto at Scale – Shradha Ambekar, Gurmeet Singh, Neerad Somanchi & Rupa Gangatirkar

Over the last decade Presto has become one of the most widely adopted open source SQL query engines. In use at companies large and small, Presto’s performance, reliability, and efficiency at scale have become critical to many companies’ data infrastructures. In this panel we’ll hear from three of the largest companies running Presto at scale – Meta, Uber, and Intuit. They’ll share more about their learnings, some of their impressive performance metrics with Presto, and what they envision going forward for Presto at their respective companies.

Presto Query Analysis for Data Layout Formatting and Query Result Caching – Gurmeet Singh, Uber

In this talk, I will be talking about a microservice that we have built at Uber to be able to analyze Presto queries. The Presto Query Engine does not provide endpoints for query analysis purposes. One has to either execute the query or gather insights from the query explain plan. In this talk, I will talk about 1. The work that we had to do to do the query analysis in a microservice using Presto as a library. 2. Doing predicate analysis on the queries to come up with data formatting recommendations in order to improve query performance. 3. Using the analysis service for query result cache invalidation. The analysis figures out whether the results from a previous run of the query are still valid and can be reused.

Presto On Spark: Scaling not Failing with Spark – Ariel Weisberg, Meta & Shradha Ambekar, Intuit

Presto on Spark is an integration between Presto and Spark that leverages Presto’s compiler/evaluation as a library and Spark’s large scale processing capabilities. It enables a unified SQL experience between interactive and batch use cases. A unified option for batch data processing and ad hoc is very important for creating the experience of queries that scale instead of fail without requiring rewrites between different SQL dialects. In this session, we’ll talk about Presto On Spark architecture, why it matters and its implementation/usage at Intuit.
