StarTree
StarTree Cloud functions as a fully-managed platform for real-time analytics, optimized for online analytical processing (OLAP) with exceptional speed and scalability tailored for user-facing applications. Leveraging the capabilities of Apache Pinot, it offers enterprise-level reliability along with advanced features such as tiered storage, scalable upserts, and a variety of additional indexes and connectors. The platform seamlessly integrates with transactional databases and event streaming technologies, enabling the ingestion of millions of events per second while indexing them for rapid query performance. Available on popular public clouds or for private SaaS deployment, StarTree Cloud caters to diverse organizational needs. Included within StarTree Cloud is the StarTree Data Manager, which facilitates the ingestion of data from both real-time sources—such as Amazon Kinesis, Apache Kafka, Apache Pulsar, or Redpanda—and batch data sources like Snowflake, Delta Lake, Google BigQuery, or object storage solutions like Amazon S3, Apache Flink, Apache Hadoop, and Apache Spark. Moreover, the system is enhanced by StarTree ThirdEye, an anomaly detection feature that monitors vital business metrics, sends alerts, and supports real-time root-cause analysis, ensuring that organizations can respond swiftly to any emerging issues. This comprehensive suite of tools not only streamlines data management but also empowers organizations to maintain optimal performance and make informed decisions based on their analytics.
