Unified Access to Data

Starburst provides a single point of access to multiple disparate data sources including data lakes, cloud storage, relational databases, and NoSQL systems. This significantly simplifies the analytics process by allowing users to query data in-place, eliminating the need for complex ETL pipelines. The Security and Governance features are great which helps in auditing etc. 1. Unified Access to Distributed Data Starburst provides seamless connectivity to a wide range of data sources—relational databases, data lakes, cloud storage, and more—allowing analysts and data scientists to query across silos using standard SQL. 2. High Performance & Scalability Built on Trino’s distributed SQL engine, Starburst offers fast query performance at scale. Features like cost-based optimization, dynamic filtering, and query caching significantly enhance performance for large datasets. 3. Enterprise-Ready Security & Governance Starburst integrates with authentication systems and supports fine-grained access control via tools like Apache Ranger, making it a secure option for highly regulated environments. 4. Flexible Deployment Supports hybrid, multi-cloud, and on-prem deployments. With Starburst Galaxy, the fully managed SaaS offering, users can get started quickly without infrastructure overhead. 5. Broad Ecosystem Support It integrates with major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and connects with popular BI and data tools such as Tableau, Power BI, and dbt.

Reliable way to retrieve and work with data efficiently

Probably the biggest standout from Starburst is that it decreases our dependency on operator data retrieval. We no longer have to extract and put things together from separate locations because it is accessible in a structured format. It has substantially reduced redundant work and made sure that our team dedicates its time to meaningful analysis rather than an excess on data preparation. This has helped us structure our decision making a lot more and has made it more efficient.

Our team doesn't panic before data analysis anymore

One of the highlights of the Starburst architecture is its data lakehouse architecture. This enables us to query data between different formats and locations without any issues. This has been a lifesaver for our data analysts so that they can have faster access to and analysis of data. The cost based optimization feature is also good since it helps us manage and optimize query costs. Moreover, it is easy to integrate with different data sources for the purpose of data consolidation from different platforms, offering a single view.

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! Our growth is already ahead of some of the most successful software start-ups, and we don’t plan on slowing down.We believe our opportunity is huge. Every large company in the world suffers from a data silo problem. Traditional data warehouse products approach the problem with old solutions that breed inefficiency and ultimately can’t help business analysts run fast analytics on all their data. This prevents the business from making better decisions to improve their company’s performance. Starburst provides a modern solution that addresses these data silo & speed of access problems. Starburst helps enterprises harness the value of Trino, the fastest distributed query engine available today, by adding the tools and 4x7 support that meet the needs for big data access at scale. Ultimately, Starburst helps organizations run analytics anywhere to make better business decisions.We’re building a team of all-stars: engineers, customer success, sales, and marketing pros who are at the top of their game.
