Customer-Facing Presto at Rippling – Andy Li, Rippling

Customer-Facing Presto at Rippling – Andy Li, Rippling

Presto is used for a variety of cases, but tends to be used for larger scale analytical queries. We have been transitioning to using Presto to power our data platform and customer-facing scripting language, RQL (Rippling Query Language) to run arbitrary customer queries to power core products. Presto helps enable diverse, federated querying at scale. In this talk, Andy will cover where Presto sits in Rippling’s ecosystem as a core query layer, our collaboration and contributions for closer integration with Apache Pinot, and learnings on using Presto to handle a large variety of query patterns.

Scalable Feature Engineering with Tecton on Athena – Derek Salama, Tecton

Scalable Feature Engineering with Tecton on Athena – Derek Salama, Tecton

Tecton is the leading feature platform for real-time machine learning. Rather than build new SQL engines from scratch, Tecton connects to your existing engine to transform raw data into features for machine learning. This talk will cover Tecton’s new integration with Athena for feature engineering. Derek will demonstrate how Tecton with Athena is the fastest way to build feature pipelines and put new models in production.
