Introducing Fast Warm-Up and Autoscaling to Warp Speed in Starburst Galaxy

Starburst has introduced significant enhancements to its Warp Speed technology in Starburst Galaxy, aimed at boosting performance and cost-efficiency for object storage workloads. The updates include Fast Warm-Up, which utilizes a three-tier storage system to ensure efficient cache building and reduce warm-up times by up to three times, and Autoscaling, which dynamically adjusts cluster sizes to optimize resource use without overprovisioning. These improvements promise a 3-5x boost in performance, alongside reductions in CPU and object storage costs by up to 40% and 50%, respectively. A global airline's benchmarking project demonstrated remarkable savings, with some query costs reduced from $24 to $1, leading to anticipated savings of $6.9 million over three years. The enhancements also offer more stable performance for analytics workloads, reduce operational burdens on data teams, and are easily accessible through the Starburst Galaxy platform, allowing users to efficiently manage and scale their data queries.
