Starburst is an enterprise data analytics and intelligence platform built on Trino, the open-source distributed SQL query engine. It lets organizations access and query data across disparate systems through a unified context layer — federated analytics with no pipelines or data movement required. Its products include Starburst Galaxy (a fully managed cloud service on AWS, GCP, and Azure), Starburst Enterprise (self-managed for hybrid and on-premises), Icehouse (Apache Iceberg plus Trino for the lakehouse), and AIDA, a conversational AI data assistant. Starburst Galaxy exposes a public REST API secured with OAuth2 client credentials for managing clusters, catalogs, users, roles, privileges, access policies, data products, and SQL jobs.
