Building a Modern Data Platform with Presto – Denis Krivenko, Platform24
Hadoop era is gone. Cloud computing is today’s reality. But… What if you cannot use public clouds? What if your cloud does not provide data platform capabilities? What if you want your solution to be cloud agnostic? In this case you create your own cloud native data platform on Kubernetes. In the session Denis will talk about reasons for building analytics data platform solution in Platform24, cloud native data platform architecture principles, data stack they use and why Presto plays one of the key roles in it.
Executing Any External Code in Any Language with Presto – A Universal Connector – Ravishankar Nair
Connector based architecture is one of the powerful features in Presto for extensibility. While we have a solid pack of many connectors, the ability to reuse an existing external snippet to fetch data and access through Presto will make it enormously helpful. For example, consider accessing mainframe code through Presto using simple SQL which is quite cumbersome to handle by creating a connector paradigm. Ravishankar explores how he implemented this feature using a protocol server and a protocol connector which eventually helped him to achieve a patent on the concept.
