Fast Data

Keep your analytics fresh to the second on mutable data. StarRocks resolves changes at ingest, so updates are immediately queryable without impacting query performance.

Primary Key table

StarRocks' primary key index enables data changes to be efficiently resolved during data ingestion, optimizing read performance while supporting sub-ten-second data freshness with mutable data.

icon-007

Streaming & CDC ingestion

Stream inserts and updates directly from Flink and Kafka; StarRocks applies changes in real time, so you can analyze up-to-date records—no batch jobs, no stale results.

Fast Queries

Deliver sub-second latency at scale with an engine purpose-built for modern CPUs and complex SQL.

feature_02
icon-001

SIMD-optimized fully vectorized execution engine

With a columnar storage engine and fully vectorized operators implemented in C++, StarRocks makes full use of modern multi-core CPU and SIMD instructions to boost performance.

icon-011

Cost-based optimizer

StarRocks uses real table and column stats to choose join order, pruning, and pushdown, yielding stable, high-efficiency plans for complex, multi-table queries with zero hand-tuning.

icon-005

Low-latency on open formats

Deliver high-concurrency, customer-facing analytics directly on Apache Iceberg and other open table formats, with targeted optimizations to achieve consistent sub-second latency.

icon-006

Predictable p95/p99 under load

Keep SLAs green during spikes: resource-group isolation and skew-aware data layouts spread hotspots and cut wasted scans, stabilizing p95/p99 latency while controlling cost.

Fast Delivery

Ship features faster with no denormalization, no heavy ETL, and no lock-in. StarRocks runs directly on open table formats, so you keep governance intact while cutting complexity and cost.

feature_03
icon-003

Query open tables directly

Run sub-second analytics on Apache Iceberg, Delta Lake, and Apache Hudi without ingest pipelines and data copies, governance is always on.

icon-004

Shared-data architecture

Persist data on object storage like S3 and scale compute separately, gaining elasticity while lowering long-term storage cost.

icon-010

SQL compatibility

ANSI SQL syntax, MySQL protocol, and Trino/Presto dialect support. StarRocks is compatible with a wide range of clients and BI tools.

icon-005

Asynchronous materialized view (AMV)

Build on demand to speed up heavy joins and aggregations, with automatic query rewrite so your SQL stays unchanged.

Fast for Agents

Built to serve LLMs and agents at scale—low latency, high concurrency, no manual tuning.

icon-agent
icon-009

Extreme concurrency with consistent latency

Designed from the ground up to handle flooding queries from agents with predictable sub-second responses.

icon-006

Unified, real‑time access across all data

Agents get immediate context across operational, analytical, and historical data in open formats—no pipelines, no delays, no governance gaps

icon-011

Context for LLMs

StarRocks MCP server provides table and column metadata directly to your LLM agents, improving query accuracy and reducing hallucinations.

icon-004

Built-in vector index

Support for approximate similarity search and embedding lookup gives agents memory and context for more intelligent, natural interactions.
