Companies Using Presto Today
Cartona is one of the fastest growing B2B e-commerce marketplaces in Egypt that connects retailers with suppliers, wholesalers, and production companies. We needed to federate across multiple data sources, including transactional databases like Postgres and AWS S3 data lake and Presto allowed us to join across all of these data sources without having to copy or ingest data – it’s all done in place.
Twilio uses Presto on AWS. Approximately 80% of Twilio’s data comes from product teams that use Kafka or MySQL databases. In addition to this, the company receives data from external sources such as Salesforce, Zendesk, and Marketo, as well as internal CSV files generated by accounting and finance teams. This data is loaded into the S3 data lake using config-driven Python and Spark-based loaders. With Presto, they can decouple the storage and compute layers and scale without affecting performance. In addition to data exploration and ad-hoc analysis by data analysts, Presto has also been used as a data source for real-time dashboards and machine learning models.
