Distributed SQL Analytics with Presto — get on board

[Suzanne_Ferry]

Take this course from HPE Learn On-Demand to learn how Presto enables data to be queried where it lives, eliminating costly data movement and increasing execution speed.

The team at Learn On-Demand has been busy finalizing a new technical course covering distributed SQL analytics, using Presto. Why does this matter? Read on, friends.

Today’s SQL-based interactive workloads demand ad-hoc analytics at higher scale, using more diverse data. High data movement costs and data residency requirements add further complexity. Then, there are born-in-the-cloud applications, which embrace edge computing frameworks and streaming workloads.

To respond, you need loosely coupled, cloud-native query engines to support multiple analytics and business intelligence tools against a variety of backend data sources, such as file systems, object stores, and data warehouses. Does this sound like your analytics workload challenge?

Distributed SQL analytics with Presto enables querying data where it lives, combining data from multiple sources, allowing for analytics across the entire varied IT environment.

Learn how Presto enables fast analytics

Designed for the true SQL-izers among you, the Distributed SQL Analytics with Presto course starts in Lesson 1 with a survey of the history of Presto SQL, covering what it is and why it was developed. Next, you’ll learn about Presto’s features and applications, with detail on how Presto improves query performance.

In Lesson 2, you’ll get a view on Presto SQL architecture and some key terms. This lesson goes deeper into Presto, exploring server types, adding connectors, configuring Presto, and getting into the inner workings of how Presto queries run. Also, don’t miss the four-minute movie on the Presto SQL query execution model.

Lastly, take a look at the Presto web UI overview.
