Starburst is the data platform for analytics, apps & AI—unifying data to accelerate innovation across clouds & on-prem.

About us

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 24x7 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. If this sounds like you, check out our open roles: starburst.io/careers

    "Gen AI is the new electricity" this resonated with me from Dell CTO Anthony Dina at the Starburst AI and Datanova conference in New York city yesterday. With great "power" comes great responsibility as we all get motivated to be on this journey. It was enlightening listening to industry leaders talk about everything from large scale power grids, hardware and cooling requirements for massive GPUs at Switch AI Factories to Gen AI hallucinations and startup failures to trailblazing projects at various companies like Starburst, Expedia , PSEG and Bank of America. One thing is clear, we are all preparing for the great evolution in different ways be it in our mindset, our workforce, our software and hardware. The interest in Gen AI has to come top down for the right success story - business context and investment meeting company Gen AI goals. A very exciting and well conducted Data summit by Starburst !

    Tired of reading about the trades, wilderness adventure, and off-grid skills acquisition on my page? Well, you're in luck! I lifted my head out of experiential writing for a change and dove back into the ol' AI product bucket to help pen this white paper on scaling out your agentic workforce with Nathan V.. Given how hard it is to build agents* we believe that getting access to your data shouldn't be... Sign in, take a read, and reach out if you have questions! *(seriously, the OpenAI devday conference this week had tons of talks on how hard this is in practice)

    🚀New White Paper 💡 Technical Guide for Scaling Your Agentic Workforce Why enterprises of the future will run on autonomous agents that know your business As organizations transition from AI experimentation to AI production, many are discovering a gap between what their models can achieve and what their data infrastructure enables them to do. Deploying agentic AI at scale requires more than sophisticated models. It demands a governed, contextual, and interoperable data foundation, one that ensures agents act on trusted information and that their decisions remain explainable and compliant. In this new white paper, Nathan V. and Zachary Hanson provide a technical roadmap for scaling agentic AI responsibly. It outlines: ✔️ How to transition from AI pilots to production through unified access, context, and governance. ✔️ Why sustainable AI depends on using the right model for each task, not the largest. ✔️ How governed data products create a foundation of context and control that makes agent behavior trustworthy. ✔️ Practical steps for preparing data architectures, teams, and workflows for the agentic era. This paper is designed for data engineers, AI architects, and technical leaders who are building the next generation of enterprise AI systems. 📘 https://okt.to/LM5VR1 #AgenticAI #EnterpriseAI #DataGovernance #AIArchitecture #AIEngineering #DataProducts #Starburst

    🚀 Immensely proud to have worked with Nathan V. and Zachary Hanson on this new white paper. The paper sets out the stakes of organizational and technological change made possible by #AgenticAI and outlines how Starburst sits at the center of this revolution by offering the #DataAccess and #DataGovernance required to make the change actually happen. Overall, I sense a shift in coverage of #AI lately. Early coverage focused exclusively on things like #AImodels and #AIFactory hardware. More recent coverage is asking a different question. How will these technologies be used in actual practice? To unlock the real value of AI, especially Agentic AI, one key element is required: data. AI is no good without the data. But increasingly, unlocking that data requires access to data from across the entire organization. Doing this at all isn't easy; doing it in a compliant and governed way is even more difficult. The White Paper shows how #Starburst makes all of this possible. Definitely worth downloading for anyone considering the implications of AgenticAI in the workplace, or anyone following the emerging trends around AI in general. #AgenticWorkplace #DataLakehouse

    Fantastic interview with Starburst's Justin Borgman and SiliconANGLE & theCUBE's David Vellante at the NYSE: https://lnkd.in/g_Ra4h9z The discussion unpacks rising demand in the #AI space and reflects on how most discussions so far have focused on hardware (example: NVIDIA datacenters and #AIFactories), not data. But ultimately, "AI is no good without the data", and thinking of the two as separated is a bit like considering the hardware without the software. As new technologies like AgenticAI continue to rise and reshape the nature of work itself, the driving force behind this change is ultimately data. There's so much amazing coverage of Starburst right now, but this one really stands out and puts it all in context. #Data #AIFactory #NYSE #Starburst #AgenticAI #AIWorkforce #OrganizationalChange

    “The dashboard is dying.” Clay Kersey shared this during his Starburst Datanova keynote yesterday, and I couldn’t agree more. Every announcement we made this week moves us closer to that reality: accelerating the end of the dashboard, no matter where your data lives, on-prem, in the cloud, or both. A couple of our key announcements include: 💬 A conversational analytics agent that lets you ask questions of your data, powered by the model of your choice (or whichever your security team approves) 🧠 The Starburst MCP Server, making it easy to connect your own agents directly to Starburst ⚡ Automatic data product enrichment, using AI to take the first pass so you can focus on refining, not starting from scratch I also had the chance to lead a fireside chat with leaders from Arity, Ravi Shukla, PSEG, Jacob Hochendoner, and Verizon, Elaine Huang, hearing how they overcame common challenges of governance, scaling ingestion pipelines, and driving organizational change. What really excites me is seeing our technology actually make a difference for the people using it. Can’t wait to keep building alongside these teams. 🚀 #AI #DataAnalytics #AgenticWorkforce

    So much amazing coverage of Starburst right now! In particular, this piece by Anirban Ghoshal at InfoWorld stands out for its discussion of how Starburst fits into wider conversations about #Data and #AI in the industry at large: https://lnkd.in/gSYqdXkn Really great article! I'd highly recommend reading it if you're wondering what Starburst is up to and where it's innovating in the Data & AI space, as well as the impact that's having on actual businesses. #DataLakehouse #AgenticAI #AIAgent #Starburst
