Fuel Your AI Agents with Context


Localized Innovation
Empower teams everywhere to build with AI safely — accessing governed data where it lives, without moving it.
SQL + AI Productivity
Bridge human expertise and agent automation. Query with SQL, natural language, or embedded agents — all backed by Starburst’s governance and context.
Trusted Governance
Scale AI without chaos. Manage access, monitor usage, and maintain compliance from a single, federated control plane.
Built for Agentic Productivity
Starburst is the missing layer between data and AI, providing teams and agents governed access, context, and tools to deliver trusted outcomes at scale.
Agents
can interrogate data products in natural language, automate workflows, or even be embedded “headless” into your apps and pipelines — always with governance built in.
AI SQL & Search
Query structured and unstructured data with SQL or natural language in one governed platform—powered by embeddings, vector search, and built-in LLM functions.
Model Access & Cost Control
Govern which models are used, by whom, and at what cost. Starburst tracks tokens, queries, and calls in real time—enforcing budget guardrails and stopping runaway spend.
MCP (Model Context Protocol)
- Standardize and govern how agents talk to applications. MCP lets agents safely discover app functions, share context, and embed intelligence directly into enterprise workflows.
Why Starburst is Different
AI without compromise: built for governed, hybrid, SQL-first enterprises.
Hybrid & Multi-Cloud Ready
Data movement by choice. Connect lakes, warehouses, and streams across clouds and on-prem—without lock-in.
Air-Gapped AI
Deploy AI in sensitive, regulated environments without moving data or exposing it to external models.
SQL-First + RAG-Ready
Blend precise SQL with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for trusted answers, across structured and unstructured data.
Model-to-Data & Data-to-Model
Flexibly bring models to governed data, or move data to the model when performance demands it.
Secure, Compliant, Governed
AI confidence begins with governance: your data, under your control.
The biggest obstacle to scaling AI isn’t the model—it’s trust. Most projects stall in pilots because enterprises can’t prove explainability, auditability, or compliance once they reach production. Without clear guardrails, even the most advanced models become uncontrolled experiments.
Starburst solves this by binding governance directly to the data. Every output is explainable, auditable, and safe. Proprietary data stays inside your walls, access policies apply automatically, and outcomes remain transparent across clouds, models, and business units.
With a Starburst lakehouse, governance and context travel with the data—breaking silos, preventing leaks, and giving enterprises the confidence to take AI from pilots to production, responsibly and at scale.
Fine-Grained Access Controls Attribute
and role-based controls dynamically apply policies at the row and column level, expanding safe data access without introducing bottlenecks. Teams move faster, while risk stays contained.
AI Model Access Control
governs which models can be used, tracks consumption, and enforces budget guardrails in a single location. This keeps costs predictable and ensures the right model is applied to the right job.
AI-Powered Data Classification
sensitive data is automatically identified, tagged, and protected with consistent rules. Compliance isn’t a manual hurdle—it’s built into every workflow, accelerating AI adoption in even the most regulated industries.
Data & Network Security
with end-to-end encryption, data masking, and private connections keep proprietary data inside your walls while enabling secure collaboration across clouds and borders. You protect both your competitive edge and customer trust.
Data-to-AI Readiness Blueprint
Move from AI projects to AI outcomes.
Starburst Professional Services partners with you through the Data-to-AI Readiness Blueprint — a structured engagement designed to align your data foundation with your AI ambitions.
We don’t drop in a generic playbook. We sit alongside your teams to:
- Assess your current environment — mapping architecture, data flows, and governance maturity.
- Identify critical gaps — from missing metadata to siloed datasets to unmanaged model access.
- Co-create a roadmap — practical steps that move you from proof-of-concept to production, faster.
The result is more than technical enablement. It’s the confidence that your AI projects are grounded in governed, trusted data — and directly tied to business objectives. Together, we’ll deliver a clear, collaborative plan to unlock AI value across teams while minimizing risk. With the Data-to-AI Readiness Blueprint, you’re not just experimenting with AI — you’re building it right from the start.
