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

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.
