- Managed clusters with cost controls
- Self-service analytics without centralising data

How it works
It is aimed at large organisations with data spread across many systems. Starburst adds enterprise features on top of Trino, including security, governance, cost controls, and managed clusters, so data teams can offer self-service analytics without centralising everything first.
Pricing is quoted per deployment and there is no public free tier for the managed platform, though the underlying Trino engine is open source. Starburst fits enterprises that need governed, federated analytics across a messy data estate.
