Primary Key table

Deliver unmatched query performance with real-time upserts and deletes. 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-006

Synchronous materialized view (SMV)

StarRocks' synchronous materialized view can be incrementally updated at data ingestion and perform query rewrite at query execution. With guaranteed consistency between the base table and the SMV, StarRocks' SMV further accelerates real-time analytics.

Analytics with flexibility

A query engine that adapts to your use cases. Without moving your data or rewriting SQL, StarRocks provides the flexibility to scale your analytics on demand with ease.

Unified catalog

With a single command, StarRocks' catalog enables you to connect and directly query the freshest data stored in all of your data lakes with ease.

icon-009

Asynchronous materialized view (AMV)

Engineered to be built on demand to accelerate slow queries without any external processing tools. StarRocks' query rewrite capability enables AMVs to be built at any time without the need to manually modify your SQL.
