About

Company details for Trino

Trino is an open-source, distributed SQL query engine for big data analytics. It runs interactive, batch and high-volume queries directly against data where it sits, including Hadoop, S3, Cassandra and MySQL, and it is ANSI SQL compliant and works with BI tools such as Tableau and Power BI. The project is community driven and governed by the non-profit Trino Software Foundation. It ranks #21 of 39 in Data Warehouse on SlateIndex and has a visibility score of 2 in the latest weekly run.

Its differentiator: query federation: one SQL query can join data across object storage, relational and NoSQL systems without copying the data first.
