About StarRocks
StarRocks is an open source SQL engine for real-time analytics. It is built to return fast results on large data sets and to serve many users at the same time.
What it does
StarRocks can query fresh data as it arrives, or query data directly from a lakehouse without copying it first. It handles complex multi-table queries and works with open data formats. Teams use it for dashboards, analytics shown to end users and AI agents that need low latency answers.

- Real-time updates and deletes without slowing queries
- Queries on lakehouse data
- Support for open data formats
- High concurrency for many users
Who it's for
Data engineers and analytics teams that need fast reporting on large or fast changing data. Product teams that show analytics to their own customers may also consider it.
Pricing and good to know
StarRocks is licensed under Apache 2.0 and free to download. Running it at scale needs servers and operational skills. A community Slack is available for questions, notes and feedback from other users.
