What’s New in Starburst Galaxy – re:Invent 2023 Edition

Starburst Galaxy, showcased at AWS re:Invent 2023, introduces new features to simplify and enhance the development of interactive data applications on data lakes. The platform aims to alleviate the complexities of data lake architecture by providing an all-in-one solution that integrates various functionalities, such as streaming ingest, automatic data classification, and secure data sharing. Streaming ingest allows real-time data import from sources like Kafka, while automatic classification uses AI to tag data, aiding in governance and security, especially for sensitive information. The platform also supports automatic data optimization and universal data sharing, which facilitate efficient data management and integration with third-party sources. Additionally, AI-powered tools like text-to-SQL processing enable business users to perform exploratory analytics independently, freeing up data teams for more complex tasks. These enhancements position Starburst Galaxy as a cost-effective alternative to traditional data warehouse models, offering scalable and efficient data lake management.
