FastCompose: Eliminating Compilation Cold Starts in Query Execution with Composition

Summary: FastCompose avoids compilation cold starts by generating lightweight glue that composes precompiled operators, while full query compilation proceeds asynchronously. Integrated in Redshift, it delivers up to 12× faster cold queries and substantial production latency reductions. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Aug 28 2026)
