The Future of Presto’s Query Optimizer – Bill McKenna, Ahana

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.

A Git-like Repository for your Data Lake – Vinodhini Sivakami Duraisamy, Treeverse We tend to adopt practices that improve the flexibility of development and the velocity of code deployment, but how confident are we that the complex data system is safe once it arrives in production? We must be able to experiment in production and automate actions while minimizing customer pain and reducing damage to code and data. If your product’s value is derived from data in the shape of analytics or machine learning, losing it, or having corrupted data, can easily translate into pain. In this session, you will discover how chaos engineering principles apply to distributed data systems and the tools that enable us to make our data workloads more resilient.
