Announcing the public preview of data products in Starburst Galaxy

Starburst Galaxy has announced the public preview of data products, allowing users to create and manage single- and multi-source data products with minimal data movement, enhancing dataset discoverability and self-service analytics capabilities. A data product in Starburst Galaxy acts as a container comprising business and technical metadata pointing to underlying datasets, enabling data teams to streamline analytics processes and reduce overhead. Users can either promote existing schemas to data products or create new data products directly from queries using the Trino query engine, which supports federating data across multiple sources. The platform's built-in access controls ensure fine-grained security, allowing organizations to dictate who can access specific data products, facilitating a secure and efficient distribution of high-quality datasets. This initiative aims to improve the speed of business operations by fostering a self-service data exchange between producers and consumers, with ongoing enhancements anticipated in the future.
