Scalable Feature Engineering with Tecton on Athena – Derek Salama, Tecton

Scalable Feature Engineering with Tecton on Athena – Derek Salama, Tecton

Tecton is the leading feature platform for real-time machine learning. Rather than build new SQL engines from scratch, Tecton connects to your existing engine to transform raw data into features for machine learning. This talk will cover Tecton’s new integration with Athena for feature engineering. Derek will demonstrate how Tecton with Athena is the fastest way to build feature pipelines and put new models in production.

Using Presto’s BigQuery Connector for Better Performance and Ad-hoc Query connector for better performance and ad-hoc query in the Cloud – George Wang & Roderick Yao

Using Presto’s BigQuery Connector for Better Performance and Ad-hoc Query connector for better performance and ad-hoc query in the Cloud – George Wang & Roderick Yao

The Google BigQuery connector gives users the ability to query tables in the BigQuery service, Google Cloud’s fully managed data warehouse. In this presentation, we’ll discuss the BigQuery Connector plugin for Presto which uses the BigQuery Storage API to stream data in parallel, allowing users to query from BigQuery tables via gPRC to achieve a better read performance. We’ll also discuss how the connector enables interactive ad-hoc query to join data across distributed systems for data lake analytics.
