PrestoDB in HPE Ezmeral Unified Analytics – Milind Bhandarkar, HPE


HPE Ezmeral Unified Analytics is an end-to-end data & AI/ML platform that consists of several popular open-source frameworks for data engineering, data analytics, data science, & ML engineering in a well-integrated packaging. These open-source frameworks include Apache Spark, Apache Airflow, Apache Superset, PrestoDB, MLFlow, Kubeflow, and Feast. This platform is built atop Kubernetes and provides built in security. In this talk we will focus on the role of PrestoDB in Unified Analytics as a fast SQL query engine, and also as a secure data access layer. We will discuss some of our value-additions to PrestoDB, such as a distributed memory-centric columnar caching layer that provides both explicit and transparent caching for dataset fragments, often leading to 3x to 4x query performance. We will conclude by proposing to make caching pluggable in PrestoDB and discussing future directions.

Implementing Lakehouse Architecture with Presto at Bolt – Kostiantyn Tsykulenko, Bolt.eu

Implementing Lakehouse Architecture with Presto at Bolt – Kostiantyn Tsykulenko, Bolt.eu

Bolt.eu is the first European mobility super-app. We have over 100M users across Europe and Africa and have to deal with data at a large scale on a daily basis (over 100k queries daily). Previously we were using a traditional data warehouse solution based on Redshift but we’ve faced scalability issues that were hard to overcome and after doing our research we chose Presto as the solution. In just a single year we’ve managed to migrate to the Lakehouse architecture using AWS, Presto, Spark and Delta lake. We would like to talk about our journey, some of the challenges we’ve encountered and how we solved them.

Presto on AWS Journey at Twilio – Lesson Learned and Optimization – Aakash Pradeep & Badri Tripathy

Presto on AWS Journey at Twilio – Lesson Learned and Optimization – Aakash Pradeep & Badri Tripathy

Twilio as a leader in cloud communication platforms is very heavy on data and data-based decision making. Most data related use cases are currently powered by the Presto engine. Two years back we started the Journey with Presto in Twilio and today the system has scaled to a multi-PB data lakehouse and supports more than 75k queries per day. In this journey, we learned a lot about how to effectively operationalize Presto on AWS and some of the tricks to have better query reliability, query performance, guard-railing the clusters and save cost. With this talk, we want to share this experience with the community.

Keynote: Data Lakehouse: Country Club or Community Center? – Steven Mih, Co-founder & CEO, Ahana

Keynote: Data Lakehouse: Country Club or Community Center? – Steven Mih, Co-founder & CEO, Ahana

Over the last two decades, we’ve seen the birth and emergence of the data lake systems–from the internal walls of Google to modern Lakehouses at Meta/Facebook, which promise the best of both data lake and data warehouse worlds. Equally important is the role open source–and more broadly, openness–has played and will play in this journey. In this talk, Steven will draw his experience with open source distributed systems (Couchbase, Mesosphere, Alluxio, Linux Foundation Presto) to explore the significance of the “5 shades of openness” with respect to the composable open data lakehouse ecosystem.

Running PrestoDB on Kubernetes with Ahana Cloud and AWS EKS

Running PrestoDB on Kubernetes with Ahana Cloud and AWS EKS

PrestoDB is built to be cloud agnostic and container-friendly, but getting it to run on Kubernetes in the cloud can be challenging. In this talk, Gary Stafford (AWS) and Dipti Borkar (Ahana) will discuss: Why use the in-VPC deployment model with AWS and demo, etc – Deploying PrestoDB on AWS EKS using the Ahana Cloud managed service within the user’s AWS account.

Free-Forever Managed Service for Presto for your Cloud-Native Open SQL Lakehouse – Wen Phan, Ahana

Free-Forever Managed Service for Presto for your Cloud-Native Open SQL Lakehouse – Wen Phan, Ahana

Getting started with a do-it-yourself approach to standing up an open SQL Lakehouse can be challenging and cumbersome. Ahana Cloud Community Edition dramatically simplifies it and gives you the ability to learn and validate Presto for your open SQL Lakehouse—for free. In this session, we’ll show you how easy it is to register for, stand up, and use the Ahana Cloud Community Edition to query on top of your Lakehouse.

Building a Modern Data Platform with Presto – Denis Krivenko, Platform24

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.

PrestoDB and Apache Hudi for the Lakehouse – Sagar Sumit & Bhavani Sudha Saktheeswaran

PrestoDB and Apache Hudi for the Lakehouse – Sagar Sumit & Bhavani Sudha Saktheeswaran

Apache Hudi is a rich platform to build self-managing, exabyte-scale data lakes, optimized for incremental as well as regular batch processing. Hudi tables can be seamlessly synced to Hive metastore, which unlocks the powerful capabilities of Presto engine via the Hive connector. Presto-Hudi integration is over five years old. What started as simply fetching splits using a custom input format for a Hudi Copy-On-Write table has evolved into snapshot querying of Merge-On-Read tables and using Hudi’s internal metadata table to boost query performance. In this session, we trace that journey and discuss in detail the recent developments that have made this integration stronger not only in terms of usability but also performance. We discuss the additional features that come with the brand new presto-hudi connector, such as multi-modal index and data skipping for better query performance.

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.

Panel Discussion: Presto for the Open Data Lakehouse

Panel Discussion: Presto for the Open Data Lakehouse

Today’s digital-native companies need a modern data infra that can handle data wrangling and data-driven analytics for the ever-increasing amount of data needed to drive business. Specifically, they need to address challenges like complexity, cost, and lock-in. An Open SQL Data Lakehouse approach enables flexibility and better cost performance by leveraging open technologies and formats. Join us for this panel where leading technologists from the Presto open source project will share their vision of the SQL Data Lakehouse and why Presto is a critical component.
