# Trino vendor-specific interface · access · 2022

Revision 1 (11 October 2026) · Modeled snapshot · through 8 October 2026.

All figures are research-informed estimates of analytical activity. Significant errors may remain; decimal places do not imply measurement precision.

0.4925% of the full access layer.

[Trino vendor-specific interface](https://history.columnar.tech/technologies/access/vendor-trino.md): historical names and annual shares.

Includes independently operated Trino, Trino on Amazon EMR, Starburst Enterprise, and Starburst Galaxy. Athena is excluded from this share and has its own box, despite the shared engine lineage. PrestoDB is also counted separately.

Connections below describe the whole Trino engine. Access and storage mixes are estimated separately; they are not a joint interface-to-storage distribution.
