Starburst is an enterprise data platform company that helps organizations query and govern information across distributed systems without first moving or copying it. Built by the creators of Trino, its platform combines data federation, Apache Iceberg lakehouse capabilities, and a governed context layer to deliver trusted insights for analysts, business users, and AI agents.

Organizations can use Starburst to run SQL queries across more than 50 sources, including Snowflake, Databricks, Amazon S3, Postgres, and other databases, streaming platforms, and SaaS applications. Its capabilities include ingesting data into Iceberg, automating lakehouse maintenance, federating queries across sources, and creating trusted data products with ownership, business definitions, and lineage. AIDA turns natural-language questions into governed insights and can serve AI agents through MCP.

Starburst Galaxy is its fully managed cloud service, available on AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. Starburst Enterprise offers self-managed deployment across private cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments. The platform is designed to support governance, security, workload isolation, and data residency while helping teams reduce pipelines and duplicated data.
