Tutorial: Hive and Redshift for fun and profit (SOLD OUT)

In this tutorial I’ll introduce some of the Big Data technologies we use at Pinterest to analyze petabytes of data each day. We’ll walk through a basic setup of a data pipeline using AWS S3, Hadoop on EMR, and Redshift. We’ll then do some analysis and look at the tradeoffs between the two. Rough Outline: What is big data? When do you need these technologies? Load and interact with data in S3, Launch an EMR cluster, Analyze your data using Hive, Launch a Redshift cluster, Load data into Redshift, Analyze your data using Redshift.
