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.

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.
