DataFusion suits developers building custom database or analytics systems, especially those who want to extend query sources or engine components. Its core in-process design fits workloads that do not require distribution through the core project.
PrestoDB suits teams that need to query large datasets across different systems and can manage a self-hosted deployment. It may not fit teams looking for the full feature set of a standard database.
