How to make a kickass data platform with spark and S3

Submitted Jul 1, 2019

In this talk, we will explore the advantages and challenges faced while running an in-house data platform using spark and S3. We will also discuss how to add some essential features to your platform like autoscaling and access control. The latter part of the talk will also address some ways to organise data in S3, storage formats for big data and indexing to improve read performance for big-data use cases. Overall the intention of this talk is to share the problems we faced while scaling our data platform and some of the solutions that worked for us.
