Presto News & Knowledge

How SentinelOne Optimizes Big Data At Scale

SentinelOne collects massive amounts of data (over 200 billion events per day), but querying this data was a challenge for them. In this blog they share how they overcame this challenge and achieved the ability to quickly query tremendous amounts of data using Presto.

 

Apache Pinot Presto Connector

Presto 334 introduces the new Pinot Connector which allows Presto to query data stored in Apache Pinot™. Not only does this allow access to Pinot tables but gives users the ability to do things they could not do with Pinot alone such as join Pinot tables to other tables and use Presto’s scalar functions, window functions and complex aggregations.

 

Presto & Data Science: Getting Data Into the Hands of Data Scientists (Faster)

A large amount of a data scientist’s time is spent “wrangling data”. This is not the kind of work they envisioned when they signed up. They want to spend their time on data analytics, building machine learning models and running regressions, not cleansing data. Learn how Presto helps you spend more time running analytics and less time moving data.

 

In this recent webinar, Zahir Gadiwan, Senior Director from Starburst, and Shohei Narron, Technology Partner Manager from Looker share how, together, they help companies deliver on data-driven decision making.

 

In this recent webinar, Starburst and Alation teamed up to share how they help companies reduce the time spent on data governance and data cataloging to increase analyst productivity, reuse existing work and enforce governance.
