This office hour shares a demo and compares two approaches, caching data directly in-memory into the Spark JVM versus storing data off-heap via an in-memory storage service like Alluxio
Bring your data to compute with open source
Data orchestration for analytics and machine learning in the cloud
Featured Tech Talk: How the Development Bank of Singapore solves on-prem compute capacity challenges with cloud bursting
Alluxio enables compute
Data locality
Bring your data close to compute.
Make your data local to compute workloads for Spark caching, Presto caching, Hive caching and more.
Data Accessibility
Make your data accessible.
No matter if it sits on-prem or in the cloud, HDFS or S3, make your files and objects accessible in many different ways.
Data On-Demand
Make your data as elastic as compute.
Effortlessly orchestrate your data for compute in any cloud, even if data is spread across multiple clouds.
alluxio for data engineers
Are your Presto/Spark queries slow on S3?
Do your Presto/Spark queries have inconsistent performance?
Are your metadata operations slow on S3?
Are your egress costs too high?

alluxio for data architects
Can you share data across your app framework?
Do you have problems running remote/multiple storage systems?
Is running HDFS in the cloud for temporary storage expensive?
Do you have the directive to use cloud for analytics?

Interact with Alluxio in any stack
Pick a compute. Pick a storage. Alluxio just works.
