Women in Open Source & Presto – Getting started in the Presto open source ecosystem

Women in Open Source & Presto – Getting Started in the Presto Open Source Ecosystem – Neha Pawar, Startree; Rebecca Schlussel, Meta; RongRong Zhong, Celonis & Moderated By Dipti Borkar, Microsoft Among GitHub users with at least ten contributions, a mere 6% were women. This is way less than the ratio of women in tech that various research shows at 26%. Given the amount of investment going into and the growth / success of companies based on open source as well as the enormous demand for developers in open source, it is a ratio we need to strive to improve for women. In this panel, we will discuss a few areas: – The journey of each panelist into open source projects – The benefits they have seen by participating in open source projects particularly Presto – The challenges women face in male-dominated open source communities – Ideas, suggestions and guidance to budding engineers on getting started with open source including Presto.

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.
