Headless BI Architecture and Trade-offs – Pavel Tiunov, Cube Dev

Headless BI Architecture and Trade-offs – Pavel Tiunov, Cube Dev

There has been a proliferation of tools in different categories of the modern data stack. This talk will focus on the Headless BI category and Cube’s implementation of Headless BI. Headless BI injects a component between data warehouses and other data sources and tools on the other side of the stack (e.g. CDP, data exploration tools, custom data apps, etc.). This new component encapsulates several critical functions like data modeling, access control, and aggregate awareness while deliberately omitting others, like data visualization and presentation. We’ll explore: – Keeping data models separate from data sources and not substituting data modeling with mere data transformation. – Managing access control centrally, aggregate awareness, and caching in a separate layer upstack from data consumers. – Removing data presentation features and embracing data accessibility via a set of APIs.

Build & Query Secure S3 Data Lakes with Ahana Cloud and AWS Lake Formation

Build & Query Secure S3 Data Lakes with Ahana Cloud and AWS Lake Formation

AWS Lake Formation is a service that allows data platform users to set up a secure data lake in days. Creating a data lake with Presto and AWS Lake Formation is as simple as defining data sources and what data access and security policies you want to apply. In this talk, Wen will walk through the recently announced AWS Lake Formation and Ahana integration.

Authorizing Presto with AWS Lake Formation – Jalpreet Singh Nanda, Ahana & Roy Hasson, Amazon

AWS Lake Formation is a service that allows data platform users to set up a secure data lake in days. Creating a data lake with Presto and Lake Formation is as simple as defining data sources and what data access and security policies you want to apply. At Ahana and Amazon, engineers are working on Presto and Lake Formation integration to support Authorization on Presto. This means that Presto clusters will be enforce data permissions on user queries against Lake Formation backed data lakes, which is a tightly integrated Lake Formation, AWS Glue, and Amazon S3 data lake stack. In this session we will present high level design, our leanings, future plans and demo how data platform users can use Lake Formation integration to support fine-grained data access controls on Presto.
