Search Infrastructure @ Snap
We will talk about how we leverage existing technologies like Elasticsearch & HNSW to support search use cases at Snap. We will discuss tips & tricks of maintaining robust low-cost Elasticsearch clusters that enable searching through billions of documents & terabytes of data, & how self-hosting compares to using a managed service like AWS ES. We will also touch upon our recent forays into user embedding-based approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) searches.
Speakers: Sushobhan Nayak is the Tech Lead for the Search Infrastructure at Snap.
Incentives Platform @ Lyft

- Amit Parikh is the Engineering Manager for the Incentives Platform team at Lyft
Building r/place for success - an April Fools' tradition @ Reddit
We will share the history of April Fools' at Reddit, how r/place initially came to fruition, & how we engineered this to be a growth moment for Reddit in 2022.
