Fireside Chat: Journey to Innovation: Unleashing the Power of Open Source Through Open Governance

The Presto Foundation is the organization that oversees the development of the Presto open source project. Hosted at the Linux Foundation, the Presto Foundation operates under a community governance model with representation from all its members. In this fireside chat, we’ll hear more from Girish Baliga, Chair of the Presto Foundation, on what it actually means to be a Presto Foundation member and why this governance model is so important for open source projects. We’ll also talk with Vikram Murali of IBM, the newest member of the Presto Foundation. He’ll share more about IBM’s journey to Presto, how they’re using it in IBM’s new watsonx.data lakehouse, and why the Presto Foundation played an important role in IBM’s decision to choose Presto.

Simplifying Data Management through Metadata Integrations and AI Infusion – Kevin Shen, IBM

In this demo we’ll go through two key pieces of watsonx.data, IBM’s new Data Lakehouse offering. Multiple analytics engines working on the same data: – Demo: Multiple engines working on the same data set so you can use the analytics tools you love without having to deal with the ugly plumbing Semantic Automation: Leverage AI to simplify data discovery and manipulation, allowing your data to work for you – Demo: Using a chat interface to find tables of relevance and how AI can enrich data sets with semantic information

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 & 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 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.
