Analytics Show Time: Presto Powered by ScyllaDB

Presto is an open-source, distributed ANSI SQL query engine designed for running ad-hoc and interactive analytic queries on a variety of data sources, including ScyllaDB. Unlike Apache Hive, it does not rely on Hadoop's MapReduce, allowing it to efficiently execute SQL queries across multiple databases, which is particularly beneficial for organizations with diverse data systems. Presto's simple installation and compatibility with ScyllaDB via a shared connector with Cassandra highlight its ease of use and enhanced performance capabilities. At the ScyllaDB Summit 2016, a demonstration showcased how Presto and ScyllaDB can be integrated using Docker for analytics on air quality data, emphasizing Presto's capability to handle large data sizes from gigabytes to petabytes with impressive throughput and latency. The event encouraged further discussion and engagement through the ScyllaDB user group and social media channels.
