Building an open lakehouse just got easier with Starburst Galaxy & Tabular

Starburst Galaxy has introduced a general availability connector for Tabular, facilitating the integration of Apache Iceberg and Trino to build modern open data lakes without significant operational overhead. Apache Iceberg, initially developed to address data engineering challenges at Netflix, is a high-performance table storage format that supports SQL operations and solves data lake issues such as schema evolution and data compaction. Starburst and Tabular aim to simplify the management of these open-source technologies, offering tools like access control and data discovery through a managed cloud platform. Tabular provides a secure metastore catalog with role-based access controls, allowing consistent access policies across various compute frameworks. The collaboration between Starburst and Tabular empowers data teams to leverage Iceberg and Trino efficiently, with easy setup through Starburst Galaxy's user interface, and is supported by tutorials and webinars for optimal utilization.
