# Varada

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/varada/  
**APIs profiled:** 0

Varada was a Tel Aviv-based data lake analytics accelerator that used proprietary, patented adaptive indexing to dramatically speed up Trino/Presto queries directly on data lake storage. Backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners, Varada was acquired by Starburst Data on June 23, 2022, and its indexing technology and engineering team were folded into Starburst's query engine. The company published developer tooling (the vtm cluster-management CLI, a Presto/Trino workload analyzer, and a PowerBI Presto connector) on GitHub but no public API; the varada.io domain is now parked and its GitHub organization has been dormant since the acquisition.
