Summary

Presto is an interactive OLAP SQL query engine that supports standard ANSI SQL queries, including complex queries and aggregations, optimized for fast execution speed. It was created by Facebook and has gained widespread adoption as a tool for interactive analytics. Presto can connect to various data sources, including SQL and NoSQL databases, Hive/Hadoop, and even join data across multiple databases easily, making it an ideal choice for deriving insights from data that has already been created by standard OLTP databases. YugabyteDB is a cloud-native, transactional, and high-performance database that supports multiple APIs, including YCQL, YEDIS, and YSQL, allowing Presto to run queries on these APIs and join data across them. By leveraging Presto on YugabyteDB, users can easily query and analyze their data in an interactive manner, making it a powerful tool for business intelligence and analytics.
