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.
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.
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.
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.
