Not really no. Athena is most likely just Presto under the hood.

This is a completely different beast in terms of expected query latency (sub-second) and as a result has different constraints about structure of data, amount of data queried and cost naturally.

You can think of Pinot and Druid as solving for the real-time analytics cases, like say for instance you run an ad network and you want to provide your customers with a live dashboard of ad impressions and allow segmentation of that dashboard by cohorts and other metrics on the fly.



Nowadays, Athena is Trino under the hood, but pretty heavily patched.


Yeah that makes sense.
