Stripe uses Trino and its Iceberg connector to examine Iceberg metadata, query history, and usage patterns. The article describes replacing much of an internal Iceberg CLI workflow with Trino connectors and using the resulting metadata for auditing, debugging, and optimization.

## Source excerpt

For those unfamiliar, Stripe is an online payment processor that facilitates online payments for digital-native merchants. They use Trino to facilitate ad hoc analytics, enable dashboarding, and provide an API for internal services and data apps to utilize Trino. In Kevin Liu's session at Trino Fest 2023, he showcases the Trino Iceberg connector and how it can replace more complex usage to access Iceberg metadata. He also discusses how Trino is a core part of operations at Stripe.
