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.

Presto on Elastic Capacity – Neerad Somanchi & Abhisek Saikia, Meta

Presto on elastic capacity – Elasticity of a shared fleet is one of the fundamental pillars of the IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) world. The ability of services to efficiently use both guaranteed and non-guaranteed (opportunistic) capacity is important in such a setting. Presto is great when it runs on guaranteed capacity (i.e, capacity that is fixed and stable). But what if we want Presto to leverage elastic (opportunistic) capacity, i.e, capacity that is shifting, but in a predictable manner (think Amazon EC2 Spot Blocks)? In this lightning presentation, Neerad Somanchi and Abhisek Saikia will talk about how a recent feature developed for Presto can help it efficiently utilize such elastic compute.
