Deploying intelligence from data lakehouses into marketing decisions is a critical challenge for enterprises.
Dremio is launching a fully managed cloud version of its data lakehouse platform. Dremio Cloud uses AI agents to perform configuration and optimization largely autonomously. The company promises that this will make data engineers ten times more productive. The new version of Dremio Cloud uses AI agents that continuously monitor and optimize the architecture. These agents learn in real time and adjust settings without human intervention. The goal is clear: data engineers should be able to focus on valuable tasks instead of maintenance work.
However, Starburst rivals, such as Databricks and Snowflake, offer agent governance features with Unity Catalog and Horizon, respectively. Analysts point out that the agent usage tracking features added to Startburst are not only important for controlling over-expenditure but are also becoming table stakes across data lakehouses. While Databricks' Mosaic AI Gateway offers rate limits, usage tracking, and inference logs and tables, with cost monitoring through system tables, Snowflake's Cortex AI Observability offers tracing, evaluations, and cost and usage analysis, along with community-built cost dashboards.
