Presto is known for its speed and flexibility as a distributed SQL query engine, but what happens when we push it even further with a native C++ execution engine? Join us for a **hands-on lab** where we’ll dive into **Presto C++**, explore its performance advantages, and run real-world benchmarks. In this session, you’ll learn: * What the Presto C++ engine is and how it differs from the Java engine * Running queries to measure performance across different workloads * Analyzing benchmark results and understanding trade-offs This workshop is designed for data engineers, performance enthusiasts, and anyone curious about next-generation query processing. Bring your laptop and be ready to get hands-on with running and analyzing benchmarks. **The Zoom link will be visible once you RSVP.**
