The Future of Presto’s Query Optimizer – Bill McKenna, Ahana
In this talk, you will hear from the query optimizer OG himself, Bill McKenna (Principal software engineer at Ahana, Architect for the query optimizer that became the code base of the Amazon Redshift query optimizer, and co-author of The Volcano Optimizer Generator: Extensibility and Efficient Search) go into detail about the state of modern query optimizers, and how Presto stacks up against them and where it will go in the near future. If database theory is your jam, you won’t want to miss this deeply technical presentation from one of the pioneers in the field.
The Past, Present, and Future of Presto – Philip Bell, Meta
PrestoDB recently underwent major architectural updates as the Presto Foundation grows membership and is looking to vastly grow the number of new commits and forks. Achieving this desired end state required successful refactoring and improving of Presto’s already impressive speed, efficiency, reliability, and extensibility. Establishing PrestoDB as a premier Open Source project required a major commitment of time and resources from Meta to ensure the community can benefit from this project for years to come, as well as positioning PrestoDB to evolve beyond what Meta alone could create. Members of the Presto Foundation need more of you to be involved in this major evolution in Presto’s history and core components, and bring your own inventive ideas to the mix.
