Yes. StarTree is a real-time analytics company founded in 2019 by the original creators of Apache Pinot, the open-source database it commercializes. It is used in production by large engineering organizations including Uber, Sovrn, and UniQode, each of which has published customer stories documenting measurable results.
Where do these results come from?
Every figure on this page is quoted directly from StarTree's own published customer stories at startree.ai/user-stories and dated on our index. We link each case study to its exact source URL so you can read the original.
What is the strongest documented result?
Uber reported a 70% reduction in analytics infrastructure cost — more than $2M in annual savings — after moving its app-crash analytics from Elasticsearch to Apache Pinot on StarTree, alongside an 80% reduction in CPU cores.
Does Case Study Desk verify these numbers?
We trace each result to its original public source and date it. We do not independently audit the underlying figures — they are the companies' own published claims, quoted as stated.
