I'm curious to know if this is anyone's first time hearing about Trino?

I've never heard of it. Im not a programmer, though I read hacker news daily.

Not trino, but yes for Presto. But it was already confusing because there are/were two Presto projects with one being a fork of the other?

  Yeah, I think that was one of the reasons why Facebook enforcing the trademark ended up being a blessing in disguise. It at least made the forks clearer. Now Trino is gaining more momentum but it takes a while for the brand recognition to set in I suppose.

  Not to mention the name of the opera rendering engine.

I had heard of Presto, vaguely, but not Trino. It's certainly an interesting choice of name! Should you say "TRY-no" to rhyme with Rhino or "TREE-no" to rhyme with Arduino? I would do the latter, but I'm a debauched expat. My guess is that half the people in America will do the former. Because I overthink this stuff I had to go see what's on trino.com and it's an impressively old-school unfinished personal website.

  The latter tree-no like neutrino and the website is https://trino.io https://trino.io lol.

    I knew that was the website, because I RTFA, but when I see they don't have the .com I always wonder why, what's there, is there another Trino making drone-bombs for the Ministry of Offense, or is it maybe some dude who likes to play the Ukulele, also a word with varying pronunciation? Oo or You? So we have one vote for tree-no, it's a start! With me, that's two!

  So it's not data collection (similar to Google Analytics), just the query part?
  - bitsondatadev 4y ago
    It’s a query engine that can talk to multiple databases and run join queries across tables from multiple sources. It also runs as a faster alternative to Hive.

    We use it to query data across multiple data sources, e.g. Elasticsearch, AWS Redshift, and S3.

never heard of it, but i'm not in their target audience. seems like it's focused on big data.

Lots of people using Athena have probably never heard of Presto, let alone Trino.
- bitsondatadev 4y ago
  Yup, I would say Athena is the most commonly used version of Trino/Presto out there. Also, if anyone is reading this wondering which version Athena comes from, it's a release that was common to both Presto and Trino before the fork. However, more recently we've worked with the Athena team on getting the newer Trino features that aren't in Presto today in Athena. So it's starting to become more based on Trino.
