WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRINO AND PRESTODB?



Some say that the age of the 4th industrial revolution has already begun, and
advanced digital technologies are the main driving factors. 

The truth is that they help interconnect physical, digital, and biological
worlds, resulting in the development of the latest, most advanced technologies.
These include AI, machine learning, natural language processing, quantum
computing, robotics, 3D printing, and more. 

All these technologies depend on one crucial element – big data. The more
advanced technologies become, the more data they generate, thus increasing the
need to analyze such immense amounts of information. 

However, that’s precisely where the main challenge is – finding the solution
capable of querying and analyzing trillions of gigabytes of raw, unprocessed
data efficiently, timely, and cost-effectively. That’s how the need for
distributed cloud query solutions was developed. 

Solutions like Trino and PrestoDB help companies analyze vast amounts of data
with utmost precision and in a convenient way. Let’s see what these solutions
are and how they differ.


REASON WHY THE OPEN-SOURCE PROJECT HAS SPLIT



Created at Facebook in 2012, PrestoDB was designed to help expedite 300 PB Data
Warehouse queries due to them being time-consuming. Companies needed a solution
capable of connecting to several databases or data warehouses while providing a
simple user interface and a range of integrations for BI tools.

Presto was designed as the solution that would encompass all this and more. It’s
a solution capable of quickly accessing, querying, and analyzing incredible
amounts of large-scale data with improved efficiency. As time passed, PrestoDB
grew into PrestoSQL – a solution with similar if not better capabilities and
properties, more suitable for companies and different situations. 

As the need to gather and analyze more and more data grew, businesses realized
that they needed something even more powerful than PrestoSQL. In 2020, PrestoSQL
made its transformation into Trino – a solution more capable than its
predecessor that was designed with big data business needs in mind.


CUSTOMER IMPLICATIONS



This transformation into Trino makes it a perfect solution for cloud computing
stacks. Trino can interface directly with a range of separate data sources as
its connector design supports such actions. More importantly, Trino is a
fantastic data processing solution as it can work with pools and lakes of raw
data stored in cloud storage solutions, including AWS S3 and HDFS data blocks.

In addition, Trino is also an excellent solution for handling various relational
databases such as MySQL and Microsoft SQL. Trino can be upgraded to create a
visual interface that allows businesses to improve performance and create
real-time databases, making it perfect for companies that need to analyze
massive volumes of data. 

Trino helps them get the job done while saving time, effort, and resources along
the way.


PROS AND CONS OF TRINO AND PRESTODB



Let’s see how Trino differs from PrestoDB and what makes it a better solution
for handling your big data needs.


TRINO PROVIDES EXCEPTIONAL LEVELS OF VERSATILITY AND CONVENIENCE



While originally designed for Facebook, Trino is much more than just that. It
has become a fully comprehensive SQL querying engine. Thanks to its immensely
powerful MPP architecture, Trino is highly scalable and flexible, making it
perfect for many industries that rely on big data.

However, the biggest strength of Trino lies in its core – the querying engine
that has separate computing and storage. Trino uses separate connectors to scour
data from other data sources. Because of that, it provides the highest level of
versatility when it comes to querying traditional databases, non-relational
databases, columnar databases, and other data sources.


AD-HOC QUERIES



Trino also excels at allowing users to run ad hoc queries with SQL regardless of
the location of data. It completely eliminates the need to ETL the data to
another system. Instead, Trino uses the existing data storage to provide access
to data for analysis.


ADVANCED REPORTING AND DASHBOARD



Trino allows users to create personalized reports and unified dashboards to
better query multiple data sources. It can be quite valuable for businesses that
need to query multiple data sources independently, thus eliminating the need to
hire data platform teams.


SQL TRANSFORMATIONS



While Trino is an excellent solution for companies that run ETL queries against
multiple data sources, it also provides options to save resources and gather
more output – a perk that makes Trino better than Presto.

Even though Trino is more advanced than Presto, PrestoDB has a few advantages
compared to Trino as it provides certain features that aren’t found in Trino. 

Those features include:

 * Project Aria –  perfect for processing file formats like ORC.
 * Project Presto Unlimited – a memory-saving feature for creating temporary
   in-memory buckets.
 * Additional user-defined functions such as dynamic SQL functions support.
 * Presto-on-Spark – a library within Spark executor.


TRINO VS PRESTODB: WHICH ONE IS BETTER?



Both PrestoDB and Trino are excellent solutions. When it comes to which one is
better, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Trino supports platforms with high
data generation, like Facebook, and is a perfect solution for companies that
have to deal with immense amounts of data daily. 

Some of the largest companies today use Trino, including Facebook, Amazon, and
Netflix. It’s not that one solution is better than the other – it’s just that
Trino is simply a more modern and advanced version of what PrestoDB used to be.


WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS



While Trino may be in the spotlight at the moment, Presto hasn’t changed. Trino
is now more than just an engine as it provides so many features and options for
businesses to handle their significant data needs. 

Trino is just continuing the same thing that Presto has been doing for a long
time. Both solutions are still valid. Presto has been improving for quite some
time now, and the same can be said for Trino, especially today when there is an
ever-growing need for resource management, cost-efficiency, and data processing.
