Keynote Panel: Presto at Scale – Shradha Ambekar, Gurmeet Singh, Neerad Somanchi & Rupa Gangatirkar

Over the last decade Presto has become one of the most widely adopted open source SQL query engines. In use at companies large and small, Presto’s performance, reliability, and efficiency at scale have become critical to many companies’ data infrastructures. In this panel we’ll hear from three of the largest companies running Presto at scale – Meta, Uber, and Intuit. They’ll share more about their learnings, some of their impressive performance metrics with Presto, and what they envision going forward for Presto at their respective companies.

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

Presto On Spark: Scaling not Failing with Spark – Ariel Weisberg, Meta & Shradha Ambekar, Intuit

Presto On Spark: Scaling not Failing with Spark – Ariel Weisberg, Meta & Shradha Ambekar, Intuit

Presto on Spark is an integration between Presto and Spark that leverages Presto’s compiler/evaluation as a library and Spark’s large scale processing capabilities. It enables a unified SQL experience between interactive and batch use cases. A unified option for batch data processing and ad hoc is very important for creating the experience of queries that scale instead of fail without requiring rewrites between different SQL dialects. In this session, we’ll talk about Presto On Spark architecture, why it matters and its implementation/usage at Intuit.
