# airflow vs trino

airflow and trino share 7 technologies: DuckDB, Trino, Google, Apache, Vite, React, and OpenTelemetry. airflow is written in Python and trino in Java.

- [apache/airflow](https://seerepo.com/r/apache/airflow): Apache Airflow - A platform to programmatically author, schedule, and monitor workflows
- [trinodb/trino](https://seerepo.com/r/trinodb/trino): Official repository of Trino, the distributed SQL query engine for big data, formerly known as PrestoSQL (https://trino.io)
