We are happy to be going to the beautiful city of Warsaw as a proud sponsor at this year’s Big Data Technology Summit 2016. The event is “the only conference in Poland for professionals working with Big Data, devoted to technical aspects of implementing, expanding and using Big Data solutions”.

Criteo’s Justin Coffey presents Vizatra – Finally a visualization framework that plays nice with (very) large RDBMSs

Abstract:
Building visualizations that perform on top of many-TB-scale data warehouses is an ongoing challenge in the analytics space. Most tools either offer a static presentation of a highly optimized view, and are fast, or permit exploration via a hierarchical dimensional model and end up being slow, in large part due to overly generic and/or poorly optimized query builders. In this talk we will present Vizatra, a visualization framework that turns this model on its head in an effort to work as optimally as possible with the underlying database. Vizatra is a stand-alone webapp built on top of Finatra that is simple to configure and deploy. We will discuss specific use cases that drove us to build Yet Another Dashboarding Tool and go in-depth showing how easy it is to build a time-series dashboard with Vizatra’s configuration language.

We look forward to meeting you in Warsaw!!
