In this online meetup, Electronic Arts Architect Du Li will dive into how they rearchitected their data platform for the cloud and how they maintain it.

Migrating data analytics workloads to Amazon EMR? Here’s what you need to know
Feb 12 • Community Online Office Hour
Many organizations want to use EMR to run big data workloads on public cloud. However, due to the mismatch between EMR and object stores (i.e. S3), the read and write performance is often slow and inconsistent. To learn more, join the upcoming online office hour on Running Presto with Alluxio on Amazon EMR or watch the on-demand video of how digital marketing company Ryte leveraged Presto and Alluxio for fast analytics in the cloud.
Read the latest AWS blog Accelerate Amazon EMR Spark, Presto, and Hive with the Alluxio AMI for an overview of how Alluxio accelerates Amazon EMR workloads as the caching layer for EMR, including a step by step tutorial. Here is a 5min version on getting started with AWS EMR and Alluxio AMI.
