### [Presto® on Apache Kafka® At Uber Scale](https://yomu.fyi/post/presto-on-apache-kafka-at-uber-scale.md)
- Company: [Uber](https://yomu.fyi/company/uber.md)
- Published: Jul 2, 2026
- Type: Problem & solution

Uber connected Presto and Apache Kafka to provide lightweight, interactive SQL queries over Kafka topics for ad-hoc analysis of real-time data. The work addresses operational requests such as checking whether an order UUID appears in a service’s input or output streams, where streaming processors are poorly suited to historical point lookups and real-time OLAP requires onboarding and dedicated resources. The enhanced connector discovers Kafka clusters, topics, and schemas on demand, supports multiple Kafka clusters, caches metadata, enforces \_timestamp or \_partition\_offset filters, and uses a shared Kafka client ID with broker quotas to control consumption. After rollout, example lookups returned within a few seconds, daily usage reached 6,000 queries, and the teams reported improved productivity, while concurrent queries may take longer under quota control.
