• Need help finding simulation business bank accounts + credit cards

  My company made a financial dashboard for small businesses that aggregates information from financial institutions into a simplified view. The problem I need to solve: our only way of showing what it looks like when in use, is by connecting our own bank accounts + credit cards, but of course that exposes our personal info.

It connects to multiple databases or other data sources (for example, Amazon S3). We can use a Presto cluster as a single compute engine for an entire data lake. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• Can a data warehouse be skipped?

  Fair point, but I am talking about Athena (not SQL Server), which under the hood uses a distributed query engine. It is capable to deal with huge amounts of data, if the storage is in the right shape. You can read more about the underlying technology here: https://prestodb.io/. Source: over 2 years ago

  So there is Presto, which is a distributed SQL engine created by Facebook. Source: over 2 years ago

• Understanding AWS Athena 101

  You can use Athena to run data analytics, with just standard SQL (Presto). - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago

• ETL tool for query building across multiple databases in Mongo DB

  Presto does this, but I'm honestly uncertain how performant it is. In my experience, centralizing data is the superior approach to attempting to query multiple sources in place. Source: almost 3 years ago
