The event is being held September 27-30 in Seattle, WA and Virtual.
Session Title: “Presto – Today and Beyond – The Open Source SQL Engine for Querying All Data Lakes.”

Session Presenters: Ahana Cofounder and Chief Product Officer and Presto Foundation Chairperson, Outreach Team, Dipti Borkar; and Facebook Software Engineer and Presto Foundation Chairperson, Technical Steering Committee, Tim Meehan.
Session Details: Born at Facebook, Presto is an open source high performance, distributed SQL query engine. With the disaggregation of storage and compute, Presto was created to simplify querying of all data lakes - cloud data lakes like S3 and on premise data lakes like HDFS. Presto's high performance and flexibility has made it a very popular choice for interactive query workloads on large Hadoop-based clusters as well as AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage and Azure blob store. Today it has grown to support many users and use cases including ad hoc query, data lake house analytics, and federated querying. This session will give an overview on Presto including architecture and how it works, the problems it solves, and most common use cases. Dipti and Tim will also share the latest innovation in the project as well as the future roadmap.
