Presto SQL at Wayfair meetup in Boston https://www.meetup.com/DataCouncil-AI-Boston-Data-Engineering-Science/events/262818999/ Abstract: Presto has become the essential tool for Data Scientists and Analysts at Wayfair. Presto is relatively new at Wayfair. It was implemented about a year ago and has been actively used in the past 6 months. Attend this session to understand why Wayfair decided to implement presto, how we architected our cluster, configuration choices we made, some common issues we faced and where we are heading towards next. By breaking down our problems and approach with Presto, it will help describe some of the challenges we face, and provide color to the decisions we’ve made.
