AWS re:Invent 2013 is the second annual Amazon Web Services’ global customer and partner conference. It is the largest gathering of developers and technical leaders from the AWS community and provides four days of sessions, training bootcamps, hands-on labs, and a Hackathon.
Sathish Gaddipati, The Weather Company VP of Data Enterprise, will be presenting at re:Invent on Thursday, November 14th at 5:30pm. His talk, “How The Weather Company Monetizes Weather, the Original Big Data Challenge,” will look at the transformation of the most widely distributed cable TV network in the United States (building on one of the world’s most visited digital properties) to create a world class Big Data platform. As part of this transformation, The Weather Company has selected Riak’s Riak to underpin their new IT platform. Gaddipati will also discuss the architecture, technology choices (including how and why they selected Riak), performance results, and business benefits realized as part of their use of AWS services to host an exciting set of weather.com solutions and generate new revenue streams.
Riak is also a gold sponsor of re:Invent and will have a booth set up to answer any questions about Riak or Riak CS. Be sure and stop by to chat and grab some great Riak swag.
