Blog post from Starburst
Starburst positions itself as the analytics engine for Data Mesh architecture, offering a solution to the challenges of traditional centralized data systems like EDWs and Data Lakes. Data Mesh embraces distributed data, enabling businesses to make faster, data-driven decisions by accessing data where it resides, reducing complexity and cost by eliminating the need for data movement across domains. Starburst, built on open-source Trino, facilitates real-time access to distributed data, empowering self-service analytics across business domains without striving for a single source of truth. This approach minimizes infrastructure costs, prevents vendor lock-in, and integrates easily with existing tools, enhancing time-to-insight. Starburst's capabilities are showcased through successful implementations by companies like Zalando and Comcast, and the platform supports integration with other open technologies, reducing the total cost of ownership.
