Presto on Elastic Capacity – Neerad Somanchi & Abhisek Saikia, Meta

Presto on elastic capacity – Elasticity of a shared fleet is one of the fundamental pillars of the IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) world. The ability of services to efficiently use both guaranteed and non-guaranteed (opportunistic) capacity is important in such a setting. Presto is great when it runs on guaranteed capacity (i.e, capacity that is fixed and stable). But what if we want Presto to leverage elastic (opportunistic) capacity, i.e, capacity that is shifting, but in a predictable manner (think Amazon EC2 Spot Blocks)? In this lightning presentation, Neerad Somanchi and Abhisek Saikia will talk about how a recent feature developed for Presto can help it efficiently utilize such elastic compute.

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.
