About Starburst

Starburst is an enterprise data analytics platform built on Trino, the open-source distributed SQL query engine. It allows organizations to query data across multiple sources, from data lakes to warehouses, without moving the data. Starburst extends Trino with multi-cluster support, enterprise-grade governance, performance optimization, and APIs that provide deeper visibility into metadata, lineage, and usage. The Secoda integration with Starburst makes it possible to ingest and manage this rich metadata directly in Secoda, giving data teams a single place to search, govern, and optimize their Starburst environment.

Visibility across Starburst clusters

Many organizations deploy multiple Starburst clusters to support development, staging, production, or region-specific needs. With the Secoda integration, metadata from all clusters can be pulled into a single catalog view. Instead of manually setting up separate Trino connections, data teams can consolidate visibility into one platform. This gives users a unified picture of their Starburst ecosystem and makes it easier to navigate, discover, and govern data across environments.

Richer metadata and statistics

Through the Starburst API, Secoda ingests detailed table and column-level metadata. This includes information such as row counts, table sizes, last updated timestamps, primary and foreign key relationships, partitioning details, column data types, default values, and nullability. Having this level of detail in Secoda provides operational context about freshness, scale, and structure. It allows teams to understand the health and usage of their assets and to make better decisions about where to focus optimization and governance efforts.

Query history and performance insights

The integration also brings in query execution logs from Starburst. This makes it possible to capture which user or service account ran a query, how long the query took, and how frequently it was executed. Over time, Secoda can highlight patterns of usage, the most queried tables, and potential performance bottlenecks. This context helps data teams identify critical assets, optimize workloads, and prioritize documentation and monitoring for the areas of the business that rely most heavily on Starburst.

End-to-end lineage and dependencies

Starburst provides visibility into how data moves between sources, tables, and views. By ingesting this information into Secoda, users can trace dependencies and understand the relationships across their data ecosystem. Lineage includes source-to-target mappings, transformation logic, and downstream dependencies. Having this context in Secoda makes it easier to perform impact analysis, debug issues when upstream changes occur, and review the flow of sensitive information for compliance purposes.

Governance and access control

Secoda also ingests Starburst’s governance and access control policies. This includes information on user roles, schema and table-level permissions, and row or column-level security policies. Centralizing this information in Secoda allows organizations to quickly review who has access to specific datasets and ensure that data access aligns with governance requirements. It also simplifies audits and compliance checks by providing a single view into data access policies.
