StarTree has announced the commercial availability of its cloud analytics-as-a-service platform, making it easier for organizations to share self-service analytics with their most important external stakeholders: their customers, partners, and members.

Built around the popular Apache Pinot, the new StarTree Cloud delivers fresh analytics at scale with low latency for thousands or millions of users.

Built for progressive data-driven companies to help increase engagement and revenue through real-time user-facing analytics, the platform combines all the performance and scalability of Pinot with innovative features developed by StarTree to onboard data more easily and generate insights faster.

Enterprises using the platform not only achieve faster time-to-value through these new capabilities, they can also benefit from all the ongoing updates to Pinot without having to manage the open source code themselves.

StarTree Cloud is built on the same real-time distributed OLAP data store as Apache Pinot. The data store can ingest from batch data sources (such as Hadoop HDFS, Amazon S3, Azure ADLS, Google Cloud Storage) as well as stream data sources (such as Apache Kafka).
