TPC-H Benchmark Presto
To learn how to benchmark Presto, Let’s first start by covering the basics. Presto is an open source MPP Query engine designed from the ground up for high performance with linear scaling. Businesses looking to solve their analytics workload using Presto need to understand how to evaluate Presto performance and this technical guide will help in the endeavor. Learn how to get started with running your own benchmark.
To help users who would like to benchmark Presto, we have written a detailed, informative guide on how to set up your PrestoDB benchmark using benchto. Benchto is an open source framework that provides an easy and manageable way to define, run and analyze macro benchmarks in clustered environments.
Running a benchmark on PrestoDB can help you to identify things like:
- system resource requirements
- resource usage during various operations
- performance metrics for such operations
- …and more, depending on your workload and use case
This technical guide provides an overview on TPC-H, the industry standard for benchmarking. It also goes into detail to explain how to configure and use the open-source Benchto tool to benchmark Presto. In addition, it will show an example on comparing results between two different runs of an Ahana-managed Presto cluster with and without cache enabled.

We hope you find this useful! Happy benchmarking.
