  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • Trino

    Official repository of Trino, the distributed SQL query engine for big data, formerly known as PrestoSQL (https://trino.io)

  • BigQuery very recently announced their Storage Write API which is one of the ways we were looking to implement this but there are some issues with the latency and consistency guarantees that it offers.

    But, yes, we do plan to add that eventually after ironing out all the kinks. See https://github.com/trinodb/trino/pull/13094

  • presto-gateway

    A load balancer / proxy / gateway for prestodb

    All use the Lyft "Presto but really Trino"-Gateway project to run different clusters to handle various workloads. They go into various details for how this is achieved.

    Regarding the Trino/Presto split. I recommend looking at this blog to better understand why these two communities aren't mergeing. TL;DR Presto is a Facebook-driven project that mainly considers running on the Facebook infrastructure. Trino is community-driven which is why you see a higher velocity there.
