Trino

Trino is a distributed SQL query engine built for analytics on large data sets. It was formerly called PrestoSQL, and it lets analysts and engineers run interactive SQL against data wherever it lives rather than first moving it into a single warehouse.

The project's topics point to its role in the data lake ecosystem, with connectors and integrations for systems such as Hive, Hadoop, Iceberg and Delta Lake, and a JDBC driver for applications. Trino is a Maven project written in Java, and its repository covers development guidelines, plugin implementors, a security policy and reproducible builds. It runs as a cluster of servers and has a web UI.

Trino is released under the Apache-2.0 licence and is deployed and operated by the user, with deployment instructions and end-user documentation in the project's user manual. It is a fit for data platform teams that need fast, standards-based SQL over many sources, rather than for individual analysts looking for a point-and-click tool.
