The record

Core purpose: The Enterprise Context Layer turns scattered data into governed, versioned Data Products with business definitions, access policy, and lineage built in.
Data products: A Data Product bundles a governed dataset with business definitions, access policies, ownership, and lineage.
Catalog and governance: Data Products are discoverable in a shared catalog, and policies include RBAC, column masking, and row-level security.
Versioning: Data Products are versioned and tested, with breaking changes reviewed before rollout.
Data Products as code: Data Products can be defined in YAML, committed to git, tested before merge, and rolled back when needed.
CI/CD lineage: CI/CD lineage checks validate upstream freshness automatically before publishing a new version.
Semantic layer: The semantic layer translates raw data into business-ready metrics, dimensions, and relationships for tools and AI agents.
Consumers: Data Products can be consumed by BI tools, APIs, AI agents, and apps through JDBC or REST.
Integrations: The platform connects to more than 50 sources, including Apache Iceberg, Delta Lake, Hive, Amazon S3, Snowflake, and PostgreSQL.
Deployment: Starburst Enterprise runs in private cloud, hybrid, or on-premises environments and is air-gap ready.
Security: Enterprise security includes column- and row-level RBAC and ABAC, Apache Ranger, HashiCorp Vault, Okta, LDAP, dynamic masking, column-level encryption, and unified audit logging.
AI assistant: AIDA lets analysts query in plain language and includes an Agentic Control Plane, full-text search over Iceberg tables, and built-in AI tasks.
Target industries: Starburst Enterprise is built for regulated industries including financial services, healthcare, insurance, and government.
Support: Starburst Enterprise advertises 24×7 enterprise support.
