Getting started with the new Redis HBO for Presto (Aug 30, 2023)

Learn more about the new open-source Redis-based Historical Statistics Provider for Presto from Jay Narale, software engineer at Uber who built it. Redis is an open-source in-memory database that integrates with Presto through a dedicated connector. Now with a Redis history-based optimizer, you can enhance the efficiency and speed of query execution for Presto by using historical stats to generate optimized plans for your queries. Jay will cover how the Redis HBO utilizes the in-memory capabilities of Redis to store & analyze historical query execution data, which helps the optimizer make informed decisions about query planning and resource allocation based on the historical patterns of queries, leading to improved execution times and resource utilization.

The Past, Present, and Future of Presto – Philip Bell, Meta

PrestoDB recently underwent major architectural updates as the Presto Foundation grows membership and is looking to vastly grow the number of new commits and forks. Achieving this desired end state required successful refactoring and improving of Presto’s already impressive speed, efficiency, reliability, and extensibility. Establishing PrestoDB as a premier Open Source project required a major commitment of time and resources from Meta to ensure the community can benefit from this project for years to come, as well as positioning PrestoDB to evolve beyond what Meta alone could create. Members of the Presto Foundation need more of you to be involved in this major evolution in Presto’s history and core components, and bring your own inventive ideas to the mix.
