How To Migrate Queries From Amazon Athena To Starburst Galaxy

Starburst Galaxy provides a compelling alternative to Amazon Athena by offering a fully managed, scalable analytics platform built on open-source Trino, which ensures it stays up-to-date with new functionalities, performance enhancements, and security patches. While Athena, based on a combination of Trino and Presto, faces challenges like limited visibility into query execution, potential high costs from its data-scanned pricing model, and the "noisy neighbor" problem due to shared compute resources, Starburst Galaxy simplifies deploying Trino with intuitive user experience and pre-configured connectors, allowing users to manage compute resources with features like auto-scaling and idle shutdowns. This platform supports federated queries across multiple data sources and provides detailed query execution insights, facilitating performance tuning and reducing query time compared to Athena. Designed by the creators of the original Presto project, Starburst Galaxy offers a robust solution for organizations aiming to enhance their analytics capabilities and achieve faster insights while minimizing infrastructure management complexities.
