Shared Foundations Of Composable Data Systems – Biswapesh Chattopadhyay, Google

Shared Foundations Of Composable Data Systems – Biswapesh Chattopadhyay, Google

Data processing systems have evolved significantly over the last decade, driven by various factors such as the advent of cloud computing, increasingly complexity of applications such as ML, HTAP, Streaming, Observability and Graph processing. However, historically, these frameworks have evolved independently, leading to significant fragmentation of the stack. In this talk, I will talk about how this has evolved in the open source and at Meta, and how we are solving this problem through the Shared Foundations effort, leading to composable systems. This has resulted in significantly better performance, more features, higher engineering velocity and a more consistent user experience.

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 & the Foundations of Open Lake House: Trends & Opportunities – Biswapesh Chattopadhyay, Meta

Presto & the Foundations of Open Lake House: Trends & Opportunities – Biswapesh Chattopadhyay, Meta

Building open and shared foundational tech to build a lake house architecture can provide the best-of-breed user experience across the Analytics and ML domains and potentially beyond. In this talk, Biswa will share examples drawn from the evolution of the data stack at Meta over the last few years including efforts towards dialect unification (Sapphire aka Presto-on-Spark and Xstream-IE streaming engine efforts), eval unification (using Velox as the base), eliminating the need for data duplication for interactive analytics by building smart caching (RaptorX), building a best-of-breed file format that works across Analytics and ML (Alpha), and building an open source ML data pre-proc engine (TorchArrow) which shares the core dialect and eval components with Presto.

Open Source Data Lake Analytics: Trends and Opportunities – Biswapesh Chattopadhyay, Meta

Open Source Data Lake Analytics: Trends and Opportunities – Biswapesh Chattopadhyay, Meta

Open source data analytics is undergoing an interesting transformation as the industry rapidly evolves around it. Accelerating migration to the cloud, the rise of immensely well funded proprietary vendors, fast evolving needs of the users all contribute to this. This talk goes into detail about the trends and opportunities in the OSS data analytics space, and a call to action on how this space can stay relevant.
