Unified Data Querying Made Effortless

I love using Starburst because it makes it easy to run SQL queries, investigate issues, validate changes, and quickly gather information without moving data between systems. It's a useful tool for day-to-day development work and troubleshooting. The query editor is especially easy to use, making it simple to investigate issues and find data. Additionally, the initial setup was quite easy, and I had no issues setting it up. Starburst also provides a more unified way to query data across multiple sources.

Fast, Scalable Cross-Source Queries Made Easy with Starburst

I like that Starburst lets us query data across multiple sources without having to move everything into a central database. It’s fast and scalable, and it makes it much easier to access and analyze data from different systems in one place.

Powerful Data Virtualization Platform for Unified Analytics and AI-Driven Insights

What I like best about Starburst is how it simplifies querying and analyzing data across multiple sources without requiring data movement. The platform's data virtualization capabilities make it easy to access data from different cloud storage systems, databases, and data lakes through a single interface. The UI is intuitive and makes managing queries and datasets straightforward, even for users who are not data engineering experts. Performance has been consistently strong, especially when working with large datasets, and the query optimization features help reduce processing times significantly. Starburst's integrations with major cloud providers and analytics tools make it easy to fit into existing data workflows. I also appreciate the governance and security features, which help maintain control over data access without adding unnecessary complexity. Another major benefit is the cost efficiency gained from avoiding data duplication and reducing the need for complex ETL pipelines. The onboarding experience was smooth, and the documentation and support resources made it easy to get started. Overall, Starburst has improved our ability to access and analyze data quickly while maintaining performance, scalability, and strong governance.

What is Starburst?

Starburst was founded by the inventors of OS Trino so that data-driven companies could have a full-featured open data lakehouse platform powered by the #1 SQL analytics engine. Our end-to-end analytics platform includes the capabilities needed to discover, organize, consume, and share data with industry-leading price-performance for cloud and on-premises workloads. We believe the lakehouse should be the center of gravity, but support accessing data outside the lake when needed. With Starburst, teams can access more complete data, run scalable analytics, lower the cost of infrastructure, use tools best suited to their needs, and avoid vendor lock-in. Trusted by companies like Apache Corporation, Comcast, Doordash, DBS Bank, and VMware, Starburst helps you make better decisions faster on all data.Join us! -- Our company was founded in an unusual way; with customers and revenue from the beginning!
