About:
PrestoDB is a distributed SQL query engine designed for running interactive analytic queries against data sources of all sizes. It enables users to query data where it lives, including Hadoop, Cassandra, relational databases, and more, using standard SQL. It is known for its high performance and scalability, making it ideal for data analysts and engineers working with big data.
Key Features:
  • Distributed SQL query engine
  • Connectivity to diverse data sources
  • Standard SQL support (ANSI)
  • High performance and scalability
  • MPP (Massively Parallel Processing) architecture
Use Cases:
  • Data warehousing and analytics
  • ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes
  • Interactive data exploration
  • Data lake querying
Alternatives:
  • Apache Spark – Spark is a general-purpose distributed computing framework, while PrestoDB is specifically optimized for SQL queries.
  • Trino – Trino is the upstream open-source project from which PrestoDB was forked; both are actively maintained SQL query engines.
