Presto at Varsity Tutors: Using Federated Queries to Power External Reporting – John Cross

Varsity Tutors is a learning platform that enables online academic, professional, and enrichment learning. A growing part of their offering partners with school districts to provide customized support for teachers and students. Varsity Tutors for Schools provides external reporting capabilities including student assessments, progress reports, and more. To provide these timely reports, Varsity Tutors (an AWS shop) uses Presto scripts to perform federated queries across MySQL, Postgres, and Redshift and writes data back to S3. They use Ahana Cloud as their managed service for Presto. In this session, John will discuss what technologies they evaluated, why they chose Presto, and their current data architecture including how they handle security for cross-account writes and how they perform upserts into the final reporting database.

Scaling Cache for Presto Iceberg Connector – Beinan Wang, Alluxio & Chunxu Tang

While using the Presto Iceberg connector, the in-heap cache in Presto is likely overloaded. In this talk, Beinan and Chunxu will share the design, implementation, and optimization of the off-heap cache to address the scalability challenges. You will learn how to cache Iceberg data and metadata for the Presto Iceberg connector, followed by future work on improving table scans using Apache Arrow.

A Tour of Presto Iceberg Connector – Beinan Wang, Alluxio & Chunxu Tang, Twitter

Apache Iceberg is an open table format for huge analytic datasets. The Presto Iceberg connector consolidates the SQL engine and the table format, to empower high-performant data analytics. Here, Beinan and Chunxu would like to discuss and share the architectural design of the Presto Iceberg connector, advanced Iceberg feature support (such as native iceberg connector, row-level deletion, and iceberg v2 support), and the future roadmap.

Presto and Apache Iceberg – Chunxu Tang, Twitter

Apache Iceberg is an open table format for huge analytic datasets. At Twitter, engineers are working on the Presto-Iceberg connector, aiming to bring high-performance data analytics on Iceberg to the Presto ecosystem. Here, Chunxu would like to share what they have learned during the development, hoping to shed light on the future work of interactive queries.
