Trino & Presto Alternative
Presto and Trino are general purpose data processing engines. These distributed systems are used to query data that resides externally in a data lake or other systems. Presto originated from the Hadoop ecosystem and Trino in turn evolved from PrestoSQL. These should be viewed as complex Federated Query Engines with limited performance optimizations when it comes to delivering fast, responsive interactive analytics applications. As a result of complexity and higher TCO these technologies may not be a fit for everyone.
Firebolt was designed for low-latency analytics and dashboards from the ground up. Firebolt is a Cloud Data Warehouse with compute and storage optimizations geared towards big data, fast data challenges. Building, scaling and delivering data products is more than querying external data sources. Data products require consistent performance against unified data without processing redundancies. That's what Firebolt delivers! Additionally, Firebolt makes it easy to onboard data and run analytics without a complex architecture.
