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.

Ending DAG Distress: Building Self-Orchestrating Pipelines for Presto – Roy Hasson, Upsolver

Ending DAG Distress: Building Self-Orchestrating Pipelines for Presto – Roy Hasson, Upsolver dbt and Airflow is a popular combination for creating and scheduling batch data modeling and transformation jobs that execute in a data warehouse like Snowflake. Presto users querying the data lake need a similar solution that is simple to use and makes it easy to ingest, model, transform and maintain datasets, without having to write or manage complex DAGs. In this session you will learn how Upsolver built a tool that allows engineers, developers and analysts to write data pipelines using SQL. Pipelines are automatically orchestrated, are data-aware and maintain a consistent data contract between each stage of the pipeline. You will also learn how to introduce the idea of data products into your company to enable more self-service for your Presto users.
