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.

Presto on AWS Journey at Twilio – Lesson Learned and Optimization – Aakash Pradeep & Badri Tripathy

Twilio as a leader in cloud communication platforms is very heavy on data and data-based decision making. Most data related use cases are currently powered by the Presto engine. Two years back we started the Journey with Presto in Twilio and today the system has scaled to a multi-PB data lakehouse and supports more than 75k queries per day. In this journey, we learned a lot about how to effectively operationalize Presto on AWS and some of the tricks to have better query reliability, query performance, guard-railing the clusters and save cost. With this talk, we want to share this experience with the community.
