Databricks and Delta Lake: Lessons Learned from Building Akamai's Web Security Analytics Product
Description
Akamai is a leading content delivery network (CDN) and cybersecurity company operating hundreds of thousands of servers in more than 135 countries worldwide. In this session, we will share our experiences and lessons learned from building and maintaining the Web Security Analytics (WSA) product, an interactive analytics platform powered by Databricks and Delta Lake that enables customers to efficiently analyze and take informed action on a high volume of streaming security events. The WSA platform must be able to serve hundreds of queries per minute, scanning hundreds of terabytes of data from a six petabyte data lake, with most queries returning results within ten seconds; for both aggregation queries and needle in a haystack queries. This session will cover how to use Databricks SQL warehouses and job clusters cost-effectively, and how to improve query performance using tools and techniques such as Delta Lake, Databricks Photon, and partitioning. This talk will be valuable for anyone looking to build and operate a high-performance analytics platform.
