Keynote Panel: Presto at Scale – Shradha Ambekar, Gurmeet Singh, Neerad Somanchi & Rupa Gangatirkar

Over the last decade Presto has become one of the most widely adopted open source SQL query engines. In use at companies large and small, Presto’s performance, reliability, and efficiency at scale have become critical to many companies’ data infrastructures. In this panel we’ll hear from three of the largest companies running Presto at scale – Meta, Uber, and Intuit. They’ll share more about their learnings, some of their impressive performance metrics with Presto, and what they envision going forward for Presto at their respective companies.

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

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 Spark: Scaling not Failing with Spark – Ariel Weisberg, Meta & Shradha Ambekar, Intuit

Presto On Spark: Scaling not Failing with Spark – Ariel Weisberg, Meta & Shradha Ambekar, Intuit

Presto on Spark is an integration between Presto and Spark that leverages Presto’s compiler/evaluation as a library and Spark’s large scale processing capabilities. It enables a unified SQL experience between interactive and batch use cases. A unified option for batch data processing and ad hoc is very important for creating the experience of queries that scale instead of fail without requiring rewrites between different SQL dialects. In this session, we’ll talk about Presto On Spark architecture, why it matters and its implementation/usage at Intuit.
