What you’ll build

A running Trino cluster (both Docker and standalone installs) querying data across multiple sources. You’ll wire up the trino-dbt connector and run cross-source SQL queries — the kind of setup used at companies that federate data across many systems.

Skills you’ll practice

Trino architecture: coordinator, workers, catalogs
Deploying distributed systems locally with Docker
Federated queries across heterogeneous data sources
Connecting dbt to Trino for transformations
