Presto with Alluxio Overview – Architecture Evolution for Interactive Queries

Presto (PrestoDB and Trino) is a popular choice for organizations to run interactive analytic queries on multiple data sources at a large scale. Positioned as SQL-on-Everything, Presto is designed to be a storage-independent engine that queries against any disparate data sources anywhere.

Many organizations are constantly modernizing their data platforms and developing scalable solutions to fit their existing and future needs. Although Presto is proven to have massive data processing capabilities, it is not optimized while dealing with data access across the pipeline. As a result, data platform engineers still have to find extra solutions to eliminate data redundancy, error-prone, slow and inconsistent performance, and high costs.

To solve these challenges, an innovative architecture combining Presto with Alluxio together is recommended. Alluxio is a data orchestration platform that bridges computation frameworks and underlying storage systems. Presto and Alluxio working together enables a unified, robust, high-performance, low-latency, and cost-effective analytics architecture. This architecture not only benefits analytics but also all stages of the data pipeline, spanning ingestion, analytics, and modeling. It allows fast SQL queries across multiple storage systems on-prem, in public cloud, hybrid cloud, and multi-cloud environments.

Many companies have leveraged Alluxio to level up their current Presto platform, including Facebook, TikTok, Electronic Arts, Walmart, Tencent, Comcast, and more. They have gained significant benefits with Alluxio integrated into their Presto stack.
