Welcome to ServerlessToronto.org
“Home of Less IT Mess”
1
Introduce Yourself ☺
- Why are you here?
- Looking for work?
- Offering work?
Our feature presentation “Intro to PySpark” starts at 6:20pm…

2.
Serverless is not just about the Tech:
2
Serverless is New Agile & Mindset
Serverless Dev (gluing
other people’s APIs and
managed services)
We're obsessed to
creating business value
(meaningful MVPs,
products), by helping
Startups & empowering
Business users!
We build bridges
between Serverless
Community (“Dev leg”),
and Front-end & Voice-
First folks (“UX leg”),
and empower UX
developers
Achieve agility NOT by
“sprinting” faster (like in
Scrum), but by working
smarter (by using
bigger building blocks
and less Ops)

What is Spark
Spark is a unified analytics engine for large-scale
data processing
8/49

25.
What is Spark (bis)
Spark can be thought of a data factory that you
(mostly) program like a cohesive computer.

Data manipulation uses the
same vocabulary as SQL
(
my_table
.select("id", "first_name", "last_name", "age")
.where(col("age") > 21)
.groupby("age")
.count("*")
)

I mean, you can legitimately use
SQL
spark.sql("""
select count(*) from (
select id, first_name, last_name, age
from my_table
where age > 21
)
group by age""")

from functools import reduce

What happens behind the scenes?
23/49

57.
Any data frame transformation will be stored until we need the
data.
Then, when we trigger an action, (Py)Spark will go and optimize
the query plan, select the best physical plan and apply the
transformation on the data.

spark.sql("""
