Migrating to a faster or cheaper engine means re-formatting, re-writing and re-governing years of data. + +An open, interoperable architecture is no longer a luxury, it is a survival requirement. + +### StarRocks at a Glance: Speed & Simplicity +* MPP, fully-vectorised execution, CBO that thrives on complex multi-table joins. + +* Sub-second response on TB-scale data without pre-aggregation. + +* Compute-storage separation since v3.0: scale stateless compute pods in seconds, keep data in cheap object storage. + +### Apache Polaris (Incubating): Vendor-Neutral Iceberg Catalog +* 100% open-source implementation of the Iceberg REST Catalog API. + +* Pluggable metadata backend (PostgreSQL, in-mem) and multi-cloud storage support. + +* Fine-grained RBAC + credential-vending (temporary STS tokens) for secure, governed sharing across engines. + +### Business Value of the Pairing +**StarRocks** delivers performance; **Polaris** delivers openness.
