Uber’s mission is to ignite opportunities by setting the world in motion. To fulfill this mission, Uber relies heavily on making data-driven decisions in every product area and we need to store and process an ever-increasing amount of data, in addition to providing faster, more reliable, and more-performant access. This talk will reflect on the challenges faced with scaling Uber’s Big Data Platform to ingest, store, and serve 100+ PB of data with minute level latency while efficiently utilizing our hardware.
Presenters:
Abhi Khune, Engineering Director at Uber: Abhi leads the Big Data team at Uber. His team is responsible for ingesting, storing, processing and surfacing data and insights for all of Uber’s diverse data analytics and ML requirements. Abhi is a software engineer at heart and has over 15 years of management and leadership experience.
Reza Shiftehfar, Engineering Manager at Uber: Reza Shiftehfar leads Uber’s Hadoop Platform team. His team helps build and grow Uber’s reliable and scalable Big Data platform that serves petabytes of data utilizing technologies such as Apache Hadoop, Apache Hive, Apache Kafka, Apache Spark, and Presto. Reza is one of the founding engineers of Uber’s data team and helped scale Ubers data platform from a few terabytes to over 100 petabytes while reducing data latency from 24+ hours to minutes.
