Why teams connect Azure Synapse Analytics and Starburst Enterprise

Keep tables consistent across Azure Synapse Analytics and Starburst Enterprise, for a migration, a multi-warehouse stack, or a dataset two platforms both need.

Companies end up with two warehouses for practical reasons: a migration in progress, teams that standardized on different platforms, an acquisition, or tools that only connect to one of them. The result is the same dataset maintained twice, with duplicated pipelines and numbers that almost match.

Stacksync syncs tables between Azure Synapse Analytics and Starburst Enterprise continuously, in either or both directions. Rows changed on one platform appear on the other within seconds, with schema and type mapping handled, so both warehouses answer questions with the same data.

Common use cases

  • Consolidate SaaS data alongside lake data so analysts join both through one SQL surface.
  • Load CRM and ERP records into Synapse dedicated SQL pool tables for enterprise reporting.
  • Expose Iceberg or Hive lake tables to sync jobs through one SQL endpoint without moving the data first
  • Consolidate reads from multiple databases behind a single connection instead of maintaining one integration per source

Serve tools that only connect to one platform

Mirror the datasets a BI tool, notebook, or application needs onto the platform it can actually reach.

Shared datasets across teams

Where different teams run different warehouses, sync the curated tables both rely on so their metrics agree by construction.

Consolidation after M&A

Bring the acquired company's warehouse data across continuously instead of through one-off dumps.

What you can sync between Azure Synapse Analytics and Starburst Enterprise

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Azure Synapse Analytics objects Starburst Enterprise objects
Views Curated projections used when downstream tools should not read base tables directly. Materialized views Precomputed results that make repeated sync reads cheaper.
Schemas Namespaces that separate staging, integration, and presentation layers. Columns Typed per the Trino type system, mapped from each source's native types.
Materialized views Precomputed aggregates that speed reads of frequently synced result sets. Catalogs Each catalog maps to a connector (Iceberg, Hive, PostgreSQL, and others) exposing an external source.
SQL pools Dedicated or serverless compute contexts that determine how and where queries run. Schemas Namespaces within a catalog, mirroring the underlying source's databases or schemas.
Tables (dedicated SQL pool) Distributed warehouse tables that serve as sync destinations for analytics workloads. Tables Queryable relations; writes pass through to sources whose connectors support them.
External tables Tables over files in the data lake, queried through serverless SQL and often read-only in syncs. Views Engine-level SQL views used to shape federated data before syncing it out.

How the Azure Synapse Analytics and Starburst Enterprise connectors work

Azure Synapse Analytics

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (TDS) with T-SQL for SQL pools; additional Spark and pipeline surfaces exist but syncs use the SQL endpoint
Authentication
SQL authentication or Microsoft Entra ID
Change detection
Polling on watermark columns; Synapse SQL pools do not expose log-based CDC for downstream consumers
Capabilities
read · write

Starburst Enterprise

Integration surface
ANSI SQL over JDBC/ODBC drivers and the Trino client REST protocol
Authentication
Deployment-dependent: username/password, LDAP, OAuth 2.0, or Kerberos
Change detection
Query-based polling; Starburst is a query engine and exposes no change log of its own
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Throughput is governed by cluster sizing and resource groups rather than API quotas
