One way Starburst Galaxy can be improved is through AI enablement. I have not seen how the user interface is going to function or how users can interact with the data products on Starburst Galaxy using AI, so I am curious to know about that. I chose a rating of eight because it has many good features, including data federation and the ability to write queries easily. I think there are areas of improvement with respect to AI adaptability, and also in general, the amount of connectors working with other tools are areas where it can be expanded.
Multi-tenancy could be improved. In order to have multiple environments for SSO, we maintain multiple tenants that are connected to different AWS accounts via the Marketplace. On the AWS side this setup works because all accounts belong to the same organization. However, on the Starburst side these tenants are disconnected from each other, and it would be great if they could be connected and managed centrally.

I would like Starburst to leverage AI to improve usability. Data lakes are complicated and difficult for users to explore. AI would help a lot in this respect.

As a hosted option, I wish I had more control over the cluster configuration, specifically regarding some of the more advanced options. Trino is extremely flexible and powerful, but some of this functionality is gated on the Galaxy platform. Most users and admins will never need these features, but on occasion I have encountered issues that could have been resolved by a configuration change in five minutes rather than redesigning a data product. That said, I have a high degree of expertise with the tool, and this is more of a quibble than a major issue.

I am able to connect Starburst Galaxy to other tools such as Tableau using the connector, but I would like to see better support for spinning up a cold Starburst Galaxy cluster via Tableau, as it currently just times out. I would like the Starburst connector in Tableau to have the capability to hold the connection open while Starburst Galaxy starts up.
