Starburst’s CEO Decries Big Data Lies; Touts Data Truths

Summary: This is a summary of an article originally published by The New Stack. Read the full original article here →

At Starburst Data’s annual https://www.starburst.io/datanova/ event last week, CEO https://www.linkedin.com/in/justinborgman/ presented a keynote focused on what he called “5 Data Lies” and the corresponding “5 Data Truths.” Borgman used the lies, truths and a few interesting customer case studies as context to announce key new features of the Starburst platform, including https://www.starburst.io/platform/starburst-enterprise/ on-premises, and https://www.starburst.io/platform/starburst-galaxy/ in the cloud. In this post, I’ll review and comment on all of the above, and finish with some observations about Borgman’s career, Starburst’s heritage, and how they both contribute to the company’s point of view and strategy. The first data lie, in Borgman’s estimation, is the notion that organizations need to centralize their data.
