Prestissimo: A Year In, The Path to Veloxification

Watch a technical conference talk exploring the journey of Prestissimo, a project focused on replacing Presto's Java worker with C++ using the Velox execution engine. Gain insights into Velox's core components and understand how its integration enhances Presto's capabilities. Learn from Meta's production experience running Prestissimo for over a year, with specific focus on findings from the Experimentation Platform workload. Discover the parallels with Spark's veloxification efforts through the Gluten project and understand the performance implications for query engines considering similar transitions. Delve into practical learnings and real-world findings from implementing a C++ worker in production, valuable for both Presto performance optimization and broader database engine development.
