Today’s data-driven organizations don’t want to manage complex infrastructure to query data that’s spread across many sources, in different formats. That’s why many are moving to a more flexible, disaggregated stack: the open data lake analytics stack. It includes the data lake and other data sources, a query engine, and BI tools integrations; overall, it provides faster performance and more flexibility to query data as data continues to grow exponentially.
Presto, an open source SQL query engine, underpins the open data lake analytics stack. It is the fastest SQL engine for data lake analytics and ad hoc querying of data in-place.
