What is Holistics?

Holistics is courting Power BI defectors while folding AI and agentic dev into its BI stack.

Holistics is shipping steadily across three fronts: a one-command Power BI migration path, AI features (Ask AI that asks back, AMQL agentic dev setup via Claude Code), and platform plumbing — an Oracle connector, org-level GitHub App, and embedded-dashboard controls. The cadence is broad and feature-led, not just maintenance.

What is Presto?

PrestoDB ships steady minor releases, but the feed surfaces little beyond version tags.

PrestoDB is shipping sequential minor releases on a regular cadence, reaching 0.298 in June 2026. The changelog feed captures little more than version numbers and links to external release notes, so the substance of each release isn't visible here. Two recent crawl attempts returned error/profile pages instead of release content.

Holistics is courting Power BI defectors while folding AI and agentic dev into its BI stack.

◆ Current state

Holistics is shipping steadily across three fronts: a one-command Power BI migration path, AI features (Ask AI that asks back, AMQL agentic dev setup via Claude Code), and platform plumbing — an Oracle connector, org-level GitHub App, and embedded-dashboard controls. The cadence is broad and feature-led, not just maintenance.

◆ Where it's heading

The clearest play is competitive displacement: map every Power BI concept and automate the switch, then keep the modeling layer code-first and AI-assisted. Holistics is betting that a Git-native, agent-friendly BImodel wins migrators off legacy dashboard tools.

◆ Prediction

Expect more migration tooling for other incumbents and deeper AI/agentic authoring around AMQL, plus continued connector and embedding expansion.

PrestoDB ships steady minor releases, but the feed surfaces little beyond version tags.

◆ Current state

PrestoDB is shipping sequential minor releases on a regular cadence, reaching 0.298 in June 2026. The changelog feed captures little more than version numbers and links to external release notes, so the substance of each release isn't visible here. Two recent crawl attempts returned error/profile pages instead of release content.

◆ Where it's heading

The pattern is steady maintenance: numbered releases every one to two months with no directional shifts visible in the feed itself. Crawl reliability is the more actionable signal here — error-page captures mean the feed is degrading, not the product. Readers needing release substance still have to follow through to prestodb.io.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next sequential minor release (0.299) on a similar cadence; nothing in these entries points to a larger version jump or a directional change.
