Trino: The Open Query Engine at the Core
At the heart of this revolution lies Trino, a high-performance, distributed SQL query engine that excels in query federation—allowing users to run real-time, cross-source queries efficiently. Developed initially at Facebook for handling petabyte-scale data, Trino has since become a cornerstone for open lakehouse architectures.
