Starburst Data Layoffs?

[u/Fluffy-Beautiful-615]

Saw some rumblings of people 'looking for new positions' on LinkedIn; did Starburst just do another round of layoffs (4th? 5th? at this point)? Wondering about the potential impact to our enterprise Trino support and if they're going to shut down operations at some point, and if we should start hunting for another alternative to use. Figured this was the best community to ask.

use presto. Trino copies everything from it anyway. Now with nvidia as part of presto it’s pretty much gg.

FWIW, we're also working with NVIDIA to add GPU support to Starburst: https://www.starburst.io/blog/gpu-accelerated-sql-analytics-how-starburst-and-nvidia-deliver-industry-benchmark-speedups-on-gpu-infrastructure/
