We have two big product announcements this month, support for new data sources, and a host of smaller updates. So, without further ado…

Warp Speed is now generally available

Today, we are thrilled to announce that Warp Speed is now generally available in Starburst Galaxy. Warp Speed is an autonomous data lake acceleration layer that supercharges your interactive queries. Preview customers reported an average of 4X improvement in query speed and 7X reduction in CPU time.

The best part? Warp Speed clusters cost the same as standard clusters, so you get faster performance without paying the price.
