Presto: SQL on Anything & Anywhere

Greetings Fellow Cloud Computing Enthusiasts!

This month's meetup topic is on Presto: SQL on Anything & Anywhere by Cole Fraser.

Abstract: Presto, an open-source distributed SQL engine, is widely recognized for its low-latency queries, high concurrency, and native ability to query multiple data sources. Proven at scale in a variety of use cases at Airbnb, Comcast, GrubHub, Facebook, FINRA, LinkedIn, Lyft, Netflix, Twitter, and Uber, in the last few years Presto experienced unprecedented growth in popularity in both on-premises and cloud deployments over Object Stores, HDFS, NoSQL and RDBMS data stores.

Delta Lake, a storage layer originally invented by Databricks and recently open-sourced, brings ACID capabilities to big datasets held in Object Storage. While initially designed for Spark, Delta Lake now supports multiple queries compute engines. In particular, Starburst developed a native integration for Presto that leverages Delta-specific performance optimizations.

In this talk we show Starburst Presto deployed on AWS EKS serves as a fast SQL query engine over data in S3. Furthermore, Presto enables query-time correlations between data in Delta Lake, customer data in Snowflake, and order information in S3
