Presto on AWS using Ahana Cloud at Cartona – Omar Mohamed, Cartona

Cartona is one of the fastest growing B2B e-commerce marketplaces in Egypt that connects retailers with suppliers, wholesalers, and production companies. We needed to federate across multiple data sources, including transactional databases like Postgres and AWS S3 data lake. In this session, we’ll talk about how Presto allows us to join across all of these data sources without having to copy or ingest data – it’s all done in place. In addition, we’ll talk about how we were up and running in less than an hour with the Ahana Cloud managed service. It gives us the power of Presto and the ease of use without the need to manage it or have deep skills to deploy and operate it.

How Carbon uses PrestoDB in the Cloud with Ahana to Power its Real-time Customer Dashboards

How Carbon uses PrestoDB in the Cloud with Ahana to Power its Real-time Customer Dashboards

Carbon is a real-time revenue management platform that consolidates revenue and audience analytics, data management, and yield operations into a single solution. Real-time analytics is super critical – their customers rely on real-time data to make revenue decisions. After facing issues around performance, visibility & ease of use, and serverless pricing model with AWS Athena, the team moved to a managed service for PrestoDB in the cloud – Ahana Cloud – to power their customer-facing dashboards. In this session, Jordan will discuss some of the reasons the team moved from AWS Athena to a managed PrestoDB on Intel-optimized AWS instances. He will also dive into their current architecture that includes an Ahana-managed Hive Metastore along with Apache ORC file format and an S3-based data lake. Last, he’ll share some performance benchmarks and talk about what’s next for PrestoDB at Carbon.
