Starburst is trusted by:
*Make Decisions,*,, Not Dashboards.
Ask. Use natural language to query and explore data across your systems.
Understand. Run ad hoc analysis and generate visualizations without waiting on BI.
Trust. Get answers grounded in governed data, shared definitions, and policy-enforced access, including from external agents via MCP.
Unify Context,, *Across Every System.*
Connect. Access distributed data across cloud, lake, warehouse, and SaaS sources, with shared context applied across catalogs and systems.
Organize. Layer business definitions, policy, and metadata across domains so every query uses the same trusted context.
Reuse. Create governed, reusable data products and manage context, access, and logic as code across teams.
*Faster Queries.*,, Lower Bills.
Accelerate. Run high-concurrency analytics across distributed data with fast, predictable performance at scale.
Ingest. Combine batch and streaming data with managed pipelines and automated table maintenance.
Modernize. Adopt Iceberg and open formats incrementally, without replatforming your entire stack.
Run Anywhere.,, *Stay in Control.*
Scale. Run reliably across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments at enterprise scale.
Govern. Enforce security, access controls, and policy across all data and queries.
Optimize. Control compute, cost, and performance with intelligent query and resource management.
Powered by Trino. Built for enterprise reality.
Founded by Trino’s creators, Starburst delivers an enterprise-ready, fully managed version of the fastest open query engine for federated analytics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Wherever you need us, we’re there. We love to engage in thoughtful conversation with the Starburst community and are always on-hand to answer your questions.
How is Starburst different from Snowflake or Databricks?
Starburst queries data where it lives – across cloud storage, warehouses, and SaaS systems – without forcing centralization. It combines federated access, Iceberg optimization, and workload isolation on a high-performance Trino engine built for concurrency.
Explore how we compare
What data sources and connectors does Starburst support?
Starburst connects to 50+ systems across cloud storage, warehouses, and SaaS platforms — including S3, Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, Databricks, PostgreSQL, and more — and queries them in place without duplication.
Why use Starburst for agentic analytics?
Starburst is tuned for high-performance, ad hoc analytics — whether the query comes from a human analyst or an AI agent. With workload isolation, autoscaling, and a governed MCP query endpoint, both users and agents can safely run complex queries against live enterprise data.
Why is Starburst a best-fit for Iceberg?
Iceberg was developed at Netflix alongside the Trino query engine. Starburst builds on that foundation with a Trino engine optimized specifically for Iceberg performance and concurrency. Starburst was the first data lakehouse to support Iceberg v3 and delivers production-ready capabilities like streaming ingest and automated table maintenance — without replatforming.
How much does Starburst cost?
Starburst Galaxy uses usage-based pricing — no infrastructure management, no cluster babysitting. Customers reduce total analytics spend by improving compute efficiency and eliminating unnecessary data movement.
