Trino is an open source distributed SQL query engine for running analytic queries against data sources of all sizes ranging from gigabytes to petabytes. Trino is the community version of Presto, and emerged from the rename of the PrestoSQL codebase.
What is Trino?
Trino is an open source distributed SQL query engine for running interactive analytic queries against data sources of all sizes ranging from gigabytes to petabytes.
Trino, formerly Presto, was designed and written from the ground up for interactive analytics and approaches the speed of commercial data warehouses while scaling to the size of very large organizations.
What can it do?
Trino allows querying data where it lives, including HDFS/Hive, object storage systems like S3, Iceberg, Delta Lake, many relational databases, NoSQL/document databases, and even proprietary data stores. A single Trino query, written in standard SQL, can combine data from multiple sources, allowing for analytics across your entire organization.
Trino is targeted at analysts who expect response times ranging from sub-second to minutes. Trino breaks the false choice between having fast analytics using an expensive commercial solution or using a slow "free" solution that requires excessive hardware.
The massively parallel processing design of Trino allows very high performance, and horizontal scaling to adjust to your needs.
