About

Select Star is an automated data discovery and documentation platform that builds a continuously updated data catalog by analyzing SQL query history, BI tool usage, and pipeline activity across connected data sources — constructing a catalog that reflects actual data asset usage rather than requiring manual documentation that data teams rarely have time to write and maintain. The platform connects to cloud data warehouses including Snowflake, BigQuery, and Redshift, as well as to BI tools like Looker, Tableau, and Mode, and automatically extracts metadata including table schemas, column descriptions inferred from query context, data lineage from query parsing, and popularity signals from access frequency — assembling a catalog with meaningful content from day one without a manual documentation sprint.
