Utilizing Presto in Projects Involving Billions of Data Points – Biddut Sarker Bijoy, Goava

Utilizing Presto in Projects Involving Billions of Data Points – Biddut Sarker Bijoy, Goava

Biddut Sarker Bijoy will discuss his experience utilizing Presto in projects involving billions of data points. Many of the big data projects Biddut Sarker Bijoy worked on have had computational issues, such as the need to shrink datasets or the challenge of making sense of terabytes of data. Nonetheless, Biddut Sarker Bijoy recently worked on a project that required him to clean up a large database. Sometimes we all need to clean up a database. It was not a straightforward one for many reasons. Biddut Sarker Bijoy have found using Presto is the best-fitted one for this problem because of its architectural behavior and how it works with billions of data points within a very short amount of time as well as with a less amount of cost.

Implementing Lakehouse Architecture with Presto at Bolt – Kostiantyn Tsykulenko, Bolt.eu

Bolt.eu is the first European mobility super-app. We have over 100M users across Europe and Africa and have to deal with data at a large scale on a daily basis (over 100k queries daily). Previously we were using a traditional data warehouse solution based on Redshift but we’ve faced scalability issues that were hard to overcome and after doing our research we chose Presto as the solution. In just a single year we’ve managed to migrate to the Lakehouse architecture using AWS, Presto, Spark and Delta lake. We would like to talk about our journey, some of the challenges we’ve encountered and how we solved them.

Presto at Adobe: How Adobe Advertising uses Presto for Adhoc Query, Custom Reporting, and Internal Pipelines

Rajmani Arya, Varun Senthilnathan & Manoj Kumar Dhakad, Adobe Advertising: We are from the Product Engineering team in Adobe Advertising (https://business.adobe.com/in/product…. Adobe Advertising is a digital advertisement platform. We take care of accumulating all data, providing platform intelligence, building and maintaining machine leaning capabilities, building and maintaining internal pipelines that form derived data to be used by other teams. The volume of total incoming raw data ranges between 8 to 10 tb/ day spread across 7 regions. The total data in the system currently is about 7pb. This data is largely stored in Hive tables with a central metastore. We use Presto in three ways: 1. Data studio – an internal tool to enable data analysts, sales, marketing and other teams to do adhoc querying. This is also used by data engineers to do adhoc querying for engineering tasks. 2. Custom Reports – We create reports for customers to get performance insights on their campaigns. We have 100s of reports that are run on a daily basis. 3. Internal Pipelines – Presto is used to retrieve data to power 100s of pipelines run daily to generate derived data.

Presto on AWS Journey at Twilio – Lesson Learned and Optimization – Aakash Pradeep & Badri Tripathy

Twilio as a leader in cloud communication platforms is very heavy on data and data-based decision making. Most data related use cases are currently powered by the Presto engine. Two years back we started the Journey with Presto in Twilio and today the system has scaled to a multi-PB data lakehouse and supports more than 75k queries per day. In this journey, we learned a lot about how to effectively operationalize Presto on AWS and some of the tricks to have better query reliability, query performance, guard-railing the clusters and save cost. With this talk, we want to share this experience with the community.

How to Speed up your Lakehouse Queries by an Order of Magnitude with Multi-modal Index Subsystem using Apache Hudi and Presto

Sivabalan Narayanan of Onehouse shares more about how Apache Hudi brought transactions, incremental processing on top of data lakes, which are deemed as the foundational pillars for Lakehouse architecture. In this session, we will discuss Apache Hudi and how it fills the key technology gaps in the modern data architecture. Viewed from a data engineering lens, Hudi also plays a key unifying role between the batch and stream processing worlds realized by incremental processing model. We will take a look at the capabilities of native Hudi connector in Presto. We will dive deep into this connector, covering the key optimizations and features it unblocks. Presto users could now leverage the metadata table for optimized file listing and avoid large number of list operations in cloud storages. We will look at how we can improve the query latency in Presto using advanced data skipping methodogies employed with multi-modal sub-system with Hudi.

Presto at Bytedance- Hive UDF Wrapper for Presto

Presto at Bytedance- Hive UDF Wrapper for Presto

Presto has been widely used at Bytedance in several ways such as in the data warehouse, BI tools, ads etc. And, the Presto team at Bytedance has also delivered many key features and optimizations such as the Hive UDF wrapper, coordinator, runtime filter and so on which extend Presto usages and enhance Presto stabilities. Nowadays, most companies will use both Hive (or Spark) and Presto together. But Presto UDFs have very different syntax and internal mechanisms compared with Hive UDFs. This restricts Presto usage while users need to maintain 2 kinds of functions. In this talk, we will present a way to execute Hive UDF/UDAF inside Presto.
