Starburst Galaxy: Building a Resilient, Multi-Cloud Managed Trino Offering

Starburst Galaxy is a fully-managed Trino service built on a multi-cloud lakehouse platform that enhances data architecture by simplifying deployment, scaling, and security, allowing teams to focus on analytics rather than operational tasks. It operates through three interconnected planes—control, service, and data—across AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure, using Kubernetes clusters for low-latency access and workload isolation. The control plane manages identity, policy, and infrastructure coordination, while the service plane handles query requests and the data plane ensures elastic execution of SQL queries. Starburst Galaxy also emphasizes robust data governance with unified policy models, data masking, and lineage auditing to ensure secure and efficient data handling. By leveraging Apache Iceberg and providing integration with tools like dbt, it offers a familiar SQL experience and supports interoperability, avoiding vendor lock-in. Starburst Galaxy is designed to cater to the needs of data engineers and analysts seeking a streamlined solution with advanced features, and it continuously evolves to incorporate AI and other innovations for enhanced productivity.
