At StarTree we're a group of passionate individuals that desire to improve the lives of many by developing tools and technologies that support availability and speed in the world of real-time analytics.

Team and Responsibilities

Apache Pinot is a distributed analytics data store that is rapidly becoming the go-to solution for building real-time analytical applications at scale. Pinot stands out in this crowded space due to its ability to deliver low-latency performance for high-throughput analytical queries. For instance, Pinot powers mission-critical use cases, such as LinkedIn’s “Who Viewed My Profile” and Uber’s “Restaurant Manager,” which require the ability to execute high-throughput (thousands of requests/second) analytical queries within milliseconds.
