Re:Presto: Interacting with petabytes of data at Facebook by ehwang on Wednesday November 06, 2013 @06:14PM (#6686277)
Presto is designed for OLAP type workloads and is thus primarily used heavily internally at Facebook for data analysis and reporting. It won't be replacing traditional databases (like mysql) that are typically used for user-facing features, but may be suitable for serving user-facing traffic doing OLAP type queries such as generating dashboards. We are actually looking into doing something like that right now for Facebook.
