Last week at the AWS Summit, we announced the general availability of Starburst Galaxy, our fully-managed cloud service. Starburst Galaxy is the streamlined path to getting started using Starburst’s enterprise-grade distribution of open source Trino, the fastest MPP SQL engine. Starburst Galaxy was designed from the ground up with user experience in mind. You can get up and running querying your data sources including S3+Glue, RDS MySQL and RDS PostgreSQL in a matter of minutes. Starburst Galaxy is truly the fastest path from big data to better decisions.
After you’ve connected your data sources, spin-up new clusters with preset configurations designed with best practices in mind in just a few clicks. Starburst Galaxy provides you with cluster profiles designed with your organization’s needs in mind. Choose between a general purpose cluster for diverse workloads, a compute optimized cluster for compute bound applications that benefit from high performance processors or a memory optimized cluster to deliver fast performance on workloads that process large data sets in memory. You can also instantly scale workers as your analytics needs grow without compromising performance. Starburst Galaxy is built at cloud scale to deliver more consistent performance as query loads and your needs increase.
