StarRocks

StarRocks is an analytical database that redefines real-time business intelligence by combining the speed of traditional OLAP systems with the flexibility of a modern data lakehouse. It achieves sub-second query latency at massive scale through a SIMD-optimized execution engine, columnar storage and a sophisticated cost-based optimizer. This high-performance architecture allows users to run complex analytics directly on open data formats such as Apache Iceberg, without pre-computation or data copying. While there are many platforms in this space, we see StarRocks as a strong candidate for cost-effective solutions that require both extreme concurrency and consistent, up-to-the-second data freshness.
