Trino
Trino is an open-source distributed SQL engine that queries data where it lives — object storage, lakehouse table formats, and operational databases — through a single interface.
Trino is an open-source distributed SQL query engine designed for interactive analytics over data where it already lives. Through its connector architecture it queries object-storage lakes (Hive, Iceberg, Delta), relational databases, and NoSQL systems — and can join across them in one query.
Trino separates compute from storage entirely: it owns no data, executing federated, massively parallel queries against external sources. This makes it a common query layer for lakehouse architectures built on open table formats.
It descends from the Presto project and is available self-hosted or through commercial distributions such as Starburst. Typical usage contexts include ad-hoc lake analytics, federated queries across heterogeneous stores, and serving BI workloads without moving data into a warehouse.
