Summary

Trino is an open-source query engine designed for big data analytics, offering fast performance, scalability, and universal connectivity to various data sources and business intelligence tools. Trino can handle exabyte-scale data and supports cross-database joins without data extraction and loading. The platform was originally developed at Facebook in 2013 as PrestoSQL, later rebranded as Trino in 2020. Cube is a headless BI platform that provides access to modern data stores like Trino, organizes data into consistent metrics definitions, and delivers it to downstream applications via REST API, GraphQL API, or SQL API. By integrating with Trino, users can create an additional semantic layer on top of the query engine, leverage multitenancy and access control features, and deliver low-latency analytics to custom-built front-end applications.
