Fast Federated SQL Across Silos, but Complex Queries Need Careful Tuning

What I like best is its ability to run fast, federated SQL queries across fragmented data sources without needing upfront ETL pipelines.<br><br>In telecom, our data is heavily siloed—customer profiles live in relational databases, network logs and CDRs stream into S3 data lakes, and billing data sits in dedicated warehouses. Starburst lets us write a single SQL query joining real-time relational tables with billions of historical log files in S3. This significantly speeds up feature development for network analytics and diagnostics. Additionally, its built-in row and column-level security handles PII masking out of the box, saving us from writing custom compliance logic in our microservices

Effortless Data Management with Starburst

I use Starburst to manage and analyze data efficiently across different sources. It’s easy to use, reliable, and helps simplify data access and reporting. I like how easy Starburst makes it to access and analyze data from different sources. Its fast performance and simple data querying are the features I find most useful. I also like its user-friendly interface and smooth performance. It makes data management simpler and saves time during analysis. I value Starburst’s data integration, fast querying, and easy data access the most. These features help me analyze data quickly and manage multiple sources efficiently. The transition from our previous data platform to Starburst was smooth overall, especially because of its flexible data integration and querying capabilities. We appreciated its better enterprise features and support, which made data management easier and improved performance across multiple data sources. The initial setup was fairly easy and straightforward for our team. The documentation helped, although a few configuration steps took some time to understand.

Flexible Data Access, But Steep Learning Curve

I really appreciate how Starburst makes it easy to query data from different sources in one place, which speeds up data analysis and saves time by reducing the need to move data around. It fits well into our existing data workflow and integrates smoothly with our other tools and cloud storage platforms, offering more flexibility than our previous setup. The initial setup was fairly straightforward, allowing the team to start using it without too much trouble.

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.
