Case Study: Sky accelerates analytics and data mesh with Starburst Data

Sky Accelerates Analytics and Data Mesh Initiative with Starburst

Sky, Europe’s leading media and entertainment company, was managing petabytes of data spread across cloud and on-prem systems and needed a faster way to give analysts access without building months-long ETL pipelines. The company turned to Starburst Data and its Starburst Enterprise platform to create an overarching data mesh layer across sources including GCP, AWS S3, and legacy databases.

With Starburst Data, Sky implemented a single point of access to distributed data, along with connectivity to 40+ enterprise sources, caching for unstable legacy tables, and integrations with Tableau and Apache Ranger for governance and security. The result was a dramatic improvement in data access time—from months to minutes—helping Sky accelerate analytics, support data products, and move forward with its data mesh initiative while staying compliant with GDPR requirements.
