Turn your data lake into a data lakehouse and get warehouse-like performance with ease
Companies building an open data lakehouse on Starburst
Data lakes promised a cost-effective, scalable storage solution but lacked critical features around data reliability, governance, and performance. And legacy lakes required data to be landed in their proprietary systems before you could extract value.
Enter the open data lakehouse.
Anatomy of an open data lakehouse
The open data lakehouse is a cost-effective, performant, and future data architecture that is built on an open foundation:
A single point of access and governance for all data in and around the data lake
Modern table formats provide advanced warehouse-like capabilities directly on the lake
Built on commodity storage and compute, which means you can scale up and down in a cost effective way
Comparing a Data Lake vs. Data Lakehouse
The open data lakehouse overcomes the limitations of legacy lakes, because it’s built with the understanding that center of gravity does not mean a single source of truth. It works with your other data sources in an open, scalable manner – creating a single, open system to access and govern the data in and around your lake.

Starburst is the end-to-end platform for your open data lakehouse. It provides a single point of access for teams to discover, govern, analyze, and share data in and around your data lakehouse.
Real World Data Lakehouse Success Stories
Hundreds of the most data-driven companies on the planet, including Grubhub, Verizon, and Lucid, chose Starburst to break down data silos and increase time-to-insight.
With Starburst, we have accelerated data discovery, simplified data pipelines, and have a unified query layer across all data sources. These three points are critical to what we do.
Accelerating data discovery
CHALLENGE
With a multitude of databases and data platforms, Genus’ data engineers were burdened by complex ETL pipelines that took weeks to run.
SOLUTION
Time-to-insight was accelerated by 75% after turning to Starburst to query data directly from Genus’ data lakes (in Amazon S3 and ADLS).

Senior Manager of Data Science & Data Engineering, Genus
The decision to deploy Starburst Enterprise was made simpler because it has proven to be a reliable, fast, and stable query engine for S3 data lakes.
Upgrading to Amazon S3
CHALLENGE
Transitioning from a legacy data warehouse to an AWS cloud data lake proved challenging without a fast and reliable way to query its distributed data.
SOLUTION
Having a powerful data lake analytics engine allows Zalando to accomplish its Customer 360 program, which increases wallet share and improves buyer recommendations.
Starburst gives us a single platform to explore more data, maintain data quality and governance, and provide data to our employees using their visualization tools of choice.
Democratizing data lake access
CHALLENGE
Requests for data sets took hours, and sometimes days, to fulfill and required lots of movement between zones in the data lake.
SOLUTION
Time-to-insight was reduced from days to seconds by using Starburst to explore near real-time data on and around Banco Inter's data lake.
