The Bigger Picture

StarTree Reduces Costs

License costs are only one part of the equation. For real-time analytics workloads, the bigger question is often: how much compute, engineering time, data movement, and operational risk can you reduce?

Reduced Compute

The Apache Pinot query engine at the heart of StarTree has been optimized for low-latency, high-concurrency analytics. Customers are able to serve demanding user-facing analytics workloads with less brute-force compute than general-purpose systems.

Scan Less Data

Advanced indexes with page-level  on tiered and external storage makes it easier to serve low-latency analytics from the data lake without moving data or stitching together additional pipelines

Improved Performance

Faster analytics is not just cheaper infrastructure; it delivers faster dashboards, fresher operational decisions, better anomoly detection, more responsive internal tools and better engagement for your products.

Operational Efficiency

Spend less engineering time tuning, operating, upgrading, and firefighting your real-time analytics infrastructure. StarTree reduces operational burden with a managed platform, expert support, automation, and production-grade capabilities.
