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.

Extending Presto at LinkedIn with a Smart Catalog Layer LinkedIn

In this talk, Walaa describes how LinkedIn extended its Presto Hive Catalog with a smart logical abstraction layer that is capable of reasoning about logical views with UDFs by using two core components, Coral and Transport UDFs. Coral is a view virtualization library, powered by Apache Calcite, that represents views using their logical query plans. Walaa shows how LinkedIn leverages Coral abstractions to decouple view expression language from the execution engine, and hence execute non-Presto-SQL views inside Presto, and achieve on-the-fly query rewrite for data governance and query optimization.
