Presto is a distributed SQL query engine designed for running interactive analytic queries against data sources of all sizes. It allows querying data where it lives, including Hive, Cassandra, relational databases, and proprietary data stores.
About Presto
Presto was created in 2012 by engineers at Facebook, including Martin Traverso, Dain Sundstrom, and David Phillips. It was developed to address the need for a fast, interactive SQL query engine capable of handling large-scale data analytics across various data sources.
Presto's strengths included high query performance, scalability, and the ability to query data from multiple sources without moving it. Weaknesses involved complex setup and configuration, as well as potential issues with resource management in large clusters. Competitors included Apache Hive, Apache Drill, and Google BigQuery.
