Fireside Chat: Journey to Innovation: Unleashing the Power of Open Source Through Open Governance

The Presto Foundation is the organization that oversees the development of the Presto open source project. Hosted at the Linux Foundation, the Presto Foundation operates under a community governance model with representation from all its members. In this fireside chat, we’ll hear more from Girish Baliga, Chair of the Presto Foundation, on what it actually means to be a Presto Foundation member and why this governance model is so important for open source projects. We’ll also talk with Vikram Murali of IBM, the newest member of the Presto Foundation. He’ll share more about IBM’s journey to Presto, how they’re using it in IBM’s new watsonx.data lakehouse, and why the Presto Foundation played an important role in IBM’s decision to choose Presto.

You use multiple tools for databases, for example Azure Data Studio for SQLServer access, Toad or SQLDeveloper for Oracle access, MySQLWorkbench for MySQL databases. Imagine we have one tool and we can query any database, bring any table from any catalog to a single canvas! Now you join, the underlying PrestoDB compatible query is generated. Click a button, you get the profiled data, including distributions and correlations. An amazing tool in action.
