Headless BI Architecture and Trade-offs – Pavel Tiunov, Cube Dev

There has been a proliferation of tools in different categories of the modern data stack. This talk will focus on the Headless BI category and Cube’s implementation of Headless BI. Headless BI injects a component between data warehouses and other data sources and tools on the other side of the stack (e.g. CDP, data exploration tools, custom data apps, etc.). This new component encapsulates several critical functions like data modeling, access control, and aggregate awareness while deliberately omitting others, like data visualization and presentation. We’ll explore: – Keeping data models separate from data sources and not substituting data modeling with mere data transformation. – Managing access control centrally, aggregate awareness, and caching in a separate layer upstack from data consumers. – Removing data presentation features and embracing data accessibility via a set of APIs.

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.
