About

Starburst is an enterprise data analytics platform built on Trino, the open-source distributed SQL query engine originally developed at Facebook. The platform enables organizations to run SQL queries across heterogeneous data sources — cloud storage, data warehouses, relational databases, and streaming systems — without copying or moving data into a central repository. This federated query model lets data teams analyze data where it lives, reducing pipeline complexity and enabling real-time access to operational data alongside historical data in the lake.
