Releases and new features
Starburst Enterprise 356-e is now available. This is one of our biggest product releases to date! The 356-e release, as well as previous releases, provides Starburst customers with net new capabilities alongside more advanced connectivity, improved performance, and more robust security. Some notable features for this release include:
- Support for write operations on Delta Lake. Starburst’s connector for Delta Lake now supports DML (Data Manipulation Language) that includes INSERT/DELETE/UPDATE in AWS and Azure. Now users don’t need to make all their Delta Lake updates outside of Starburst Enterprise.
- Starburst Cached Views. Adds caching capabilities across different data sources that are transparent to the end user. For example, data from a relational database may be cached on S3. The end user will still issue the same query to the relational source and Starburst will redirect to read from the relational table to the cache in S3. Now, Starburst Cached Views allows customers to incrementally update new rows of data, without needing to execute a full refresh. Starburst Cached Views can now improve read performance up to 20x and update 100’s of times faster.
- Starburst Insights SQL Worksheet. Starburst now provides an integrated SQL IDE to allow users to explore data without any external tools.

Trino meetup groups
We started three virtual groups: trino-americas, trino-emea, and trino-apac that will serve as a place for everyone to meet by timezone. Once we are able to do in person meet ups again, they will be a place to go if you don’t have a Trino meetup in your town or want to attend both physical and virtual meetups. The long term goal is to slowly expand to more local small meetups.
