Starburst and Data Products: The Key to a Data Mesh

Starburst's approach to data management centers on the concept of treating data as a product, aligning with the principles of a Data Mesh, which emphasizes decentralization and domain-oriented ownership. By introducing Data Products, Starburst provides a platform that facilitates the creation, maintenance, and consumption of data products in a self-service manner, reducing the need for complex data pipelines and centralized data teams. This model empowers subject matter experts within domains to curate and produce data products, fostering greater alignment between data engineering and software engineering. Starburst's user experience supports data producers and consumers in using SQL to interact with data products, thereby enhancing the efficiency of generating business insights and strategies. The platform enables seamless data querying across various sources, whether on-premises or in the cloud, without extensive infrastructure investment, thus democratizing access to data and enhancing the flow of information within organizations.
