Description
Presto has become the ubiquitous open source software for SQL on anything. Presto is heavily used by Facebook, Netflix, Airbnb, LinkedIn, Twitter, Uber, and many others for low-latency querying large amounts of data, wherever it resides (Hadoop, AWS S3, Cassandra, Postgres, etc). Presto was engineered from the ground up for fast interactive SQL analytics against disparate data sources ranging in size from GBs to PBs.
Join Wojciech Biela for this full-day workshop to learn about Presto’s concepts, architecture and explore its many use cases and best practices you can implement today. Learn how to setup and use Presto through various hands-on exercises (those who don’t want to participate in the exercises can follow along).
