Reduce Snowflake compute costs with Starburst Galaxy

Starburst Galaxy offers a cost-effective alternative for Snowflake users by introducing the Snowflake Catalog Metastore, which allows users to analyze Snowflake-managed Iceberg tables with improved price performance. This solution helps reduce compute costs by offloading workloads from Snowflake to Starburst, while still benefiting from Snowflake's ecosystem. The integration leverages an open data architecture, enabling users to retain the capability to query their data with reduced expenses and add data sources through data federation. Powered by Trino, Starburst Galaxy's approach, known as the data Icehouse architecture, provides flexibility and enhanced performance by allowing users to experiment and optimize their workloads, ultimately transforming the big data landscape by promoting openness and reducing costs.
