Scan less, pay less
Sub-second query,
directly on the lakehouse!
Indexes mean StarTree only has to fetch precisely the data — and only the data — needed to answer a query. Reducing scans, lowering transfer costs and delivering fast responses directly from the lakehouse.

Deployment FLEXIBILITY
Deploy within your own cloud
StarTree manages the service
StarTree offers predictable performance, strong workload boundaries, flexible deployment, controlled networking costs, and 24/7 Slack-first support.
SaaS
Each customer gets an infrastructure-isolated data plane and Pinot cluster. The components responsible for ingestion, query execution, storage, and the operational services required to run the cluster live within that dedicated environment.
Simple pricing with no additional per-GB streaming-ingestion meter on top of that capacity.
BYOC
Our Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) model allows the data plane (ingestion, query processing, data management) to live fully in your cloud account while preserving the benefits of a fully managed-service experience.
StarTree operates hundreds of staging and production BYOC environments across AWS, GCP, and Azure
BYOK
For highly regulated environments, StarTree can also be deployed behind the firewall—offering full control while still leveraging the power and capabilities of StarTree.
StarTree manages the software lifecycle and provides 24×7 support.
A production environment—and a team—that keeps applications fast under pressure.
When you become a StarTree customer, you’re not just adopting a technology, you’ll be getting direct access to a team that consists of many of the founding engineers and committers to Apache Pinot.
StarTree support operates 24/7/365. The team continuously monitors cluster health and can proactively investigate and take corrective action when thresholds are breached. StarTree’s published average first-response time for mission-critical incidents is under 90 seconds.
