Álvaro Panizo
DataScience&Search Product Owner and developer in Empathy. I worked in all the search areas in the last years, from the relevancy to data science and from the pure backend to manage the merchandiser and customer needs.
Experience with high availability systems using k8s, different cloud providers. Talking about search and search intelligence I usually have fun with technologies like Spark or Elasticsearch but also love multidisciplinary teams with knowledge over all the development process (CI/CD, metrics, performance...).
About the real me, I like to travel, be (more or less) healthy and plants but... who doesn't?
Please if you see me around pay a drink.

Spark is a trend technology that it is being used for a lot of companies for large-scale data analytics. During the first try, companies usually try to use the cloud provider solution to speed up their time to market, but once Spark is broadly embrace by more teams in the company and the solution should be able to be multi cloud provider, then the Kubernetes adoption appear and the journey to make it happen its worth to share to inspire others in the same situation. In this talk the audience will learn some benefits to migrate from AWS EMR to Spark on Kubernetes, from operability point of view (reliability, portability, scalability), through observability and finally reviewing efficiency and costs. This talk is a real use case three teams at Empathy.co were working during 6 months to make their solution more agnostic and with minimum cloud dependencies.
