Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Starburst Presto to monitor our SQL queries (which ones are running, got stuck, which are taking too much time, how many resources have been allocated to run the query, etc.). It also monitors total active queries, runnable drivers, worker parallelism, and queued queries (if any are present in the system).

Pros

Query tracking.
Resource allocation.
Parallelizing query execution.

Cons

Pricing
Platform can be made more intuitive.
Sometimes the platform hangs while aborting the query.

Return on Investment
