Office Hours: Starburst Console’s Unified Cost, Usage, and Billing Visibility

Unified Cost, Usage & Billing Visibility

Platform costs are easy to lose track of once AI workloads enter the mix. Without consolidated visibility, managing distributed data lakehouse compute, query usage, and multi-cloud infrastructure spend can quickly become unpredictable.

Join Starburst for their September Office Hours featuring Tanya Sinha, Senior Product Manager at Starburst, as she breaks down the Starburst Console—the new administrative command experience powered by AIDA (AI Data Assistant), built to give platform owners complete operational transparency.

This session will walk through how the Starburst Console brings billing, telemetry, and usage insights into a single, unified view across your entire Starburst environment.

What You’ll Learn

• See Total Spend Across Environments: Gain complete end-to-end visibility into platform infrastructure and compute spend across your Starburst deployment.
• Trace Costs with Granular Attribution: Break down consumption by specific team, business unit, workload, and query profile.
• Monitor AI Workload Consumption: Spot where AI-powered analytics, conversational interfaces, and federated queries are driving new compute demand.
• Unified Governance & Accountability: Implement clear operational controls to govern usage and prevent billing surprises before costs escalate.

Whether you are a platform architect, data engineering lead, cloud administrator, or FinOps professional, this session offers practical insights on establishing unified observability and financial governance across modern lakehouse architectures.
