Presto at Varsity Tutors: Using Federated Queries to Power External Reporting – John Cross

Varsity Tutors is a learning platform that enables online academic, professional, and enrichment learning. A growing part of their offering partners with school districts to provide customized support for teachers and students. Varsity Tutors for Schools provides external reporting capabilities including student assessments, progress reports, and more. To provide these timely reports, Varsity Tutors (an AWS shop) uses Presto scripts to perform federated queries across MySQL, Postgres, and Redshift and writes data back to S3. They use Ahana Cloud as their managed service for Presto. In this session, John will discuss what technologies they evaluated, why they chose Presto, and their current data architecture including how they handle security for cross-account writes and how they perform upserts into the final reporting database.

Predicting Resource Usages of Future Queries Based on 10M Presto Queries at Twitter

Here, Chunxu and Beinan would like to share what they have learned in developing a highly-scalable query predictor service through applying machine learning algorithms to ~10 million historical Presto queries to classify queries based on their CPU times and peak memory bytes. At Twitter, this service is helping to improve the performance of Presto clusters and provide expected execution statistics on Business Intelligence dashboards.

A Tour of Presto Iceberg Connector – Beinan Wang, Alluxio & Chunxu Tang, Twitter

Apache Iceberg is an open table format for huge analytic datasets. The Presto Iceberg connector consolidates the SQL engine and the table format, to empower high-performant data analytics. Here, Beinan and Chunxu would like to discuss and share the architectural design of the Presto Iceberg connector, advanced Iceberg feature support (such as native iceberg connector, row-level deletion, and iceberg v2 support), and the future roadmap.

Presto and Apache Iceberg – Chunxu Tang, Twitter

Apache Iceberg is an open table format for huge analytic datasets. At Twitter, engineers are working on the Presto-Iceberg connector, aiming to bring high-performance data analytics on Iceberg to the Presto ecosystem. Here, Chunxu would like to share what they have learned during the development, hoping to shed light on the future work of interactive queries.

In Level 101, you’ll get an overview of Presto, including: A high level overview of Presto & most common use cases The problems it solves and why you should use it A live, hands-on demo on getting Presto running on Docker Real world example: How Twitter uses Presto at scale

Level 102 for Presto: Getting Started with PrestoDB

In this tech talk, we’ll build on what we learned in Level 101 and show you how easy it is to get started with PrestoDB. We’ll also dive deeper into key features and connectors.

Level 103 for Presto: Deep Dive into the PrestoDB architecture at Twitter

In this tech talk, we’ll take a look at the PrestoDB architecture in more technical depth. Next, we’ll have the Presto engineers at Twitter share their PrestoDB use case and architecture which includes several large Presto clusters with over 2,000 nodes.
