Steven here, I'm Ahana CEO (Managed Service for Presto) and member of Linux Foundation's Presto Foundation
Since you asked about an alternative to AWS Athena, we offer a free-forever in-VPC Managed Service for Presto on AWS, which keeps up with the latest Presto releases.
Note: the original Presto continues to run in production at Meta (fmr. Facebook), Uber, and recently ByteDance TikTok data platform talked about running 1M queries a day with tens of thousands of cores. Some reasons to stay with Presto:
- Reliability and scalability per above
- Cutting edge innovations only in later versions of Presto: multi-level caching (project RaptorX) to boost query performance by 10X+ and table scan improvements (project Aria) to name a few
- Only PrestoDB is hosted by Linux Foundation, giving confidence to community users that future releases will remain open.

Personally, I think both Ahana and Starburst have interesting takes on how to monetize the original Presto platform. And like many, many other data projects, there is room in the market for different platforms. Long gone are the days where everyone was just stuck with a single RDMBS to do everything!
