Starburst

Starburst provides an analytics engine that enables organizations to access and analyze distributed data without moving it from its source location. The company's platform is built on Trino (formerly known as Presto), a distributed SQL query engine designed for running interactive analytics queries across various data sources. The platform allows users to query data across multiple databases, data lakes, and data warehouses simultaneously, eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming data centralization. In February 2023, Starburst introduced Warp Speed, a smart indexing and caching solution that accelerates queries up to 7x faster by autonomously identifying and caching frequently used data. The company's software includes two main offerings: Starburst Enterprise for self-managed deployments and Starburst Galaxy, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution launched in 2021 that enables data lake and cross-cloud analytics. In February 2022, Starburst reported tripling its customer base and annual recurring revenue in the previous 12 months.

Key customers and partnerships

Starburst's platform is used by organizations including Zillow, Standard Chartered, Carrefour Brazil, Comcast, DoorDash, VMware, and Condé Nast. The platform helped Priceline reduce data storage costs by 5-10x while AssuranceIQ achieved a 10% increase in conversion rates. Starburst had established partnerships with major cloud platforms including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Alibaba Cloud, Red Hat, and HPE. The company also partnered with Red Hat as one of the inaugural members of the Red Hat OpenShift Data Science ecosystem.
