Overview

CelerData provides a cloud-native platform for real-time analytics built on the StarRocks database. Its service, CelerData Cloud, unifies data from data lakes and other sources so users can analyze both historical and real-time data without building complex pipelines. The product is a fully managed service where compute and storage scale independently, delivering high-concurrency, low-latency queries and integrating with cloud data lakes and formats like Iceberg, Hudi, and Delta Lake. The goal is to help organizations run fast, scalable analytics on live and historical data in one platform for BI and dashboards.
