StarRocks

StarRocks is worth adding because it has become a serious name in the open analytical database layer, especially for teams that want warehouse-style performance without treating the warehouse as purely closed SaaS infrastructure. The official site positions it as a high-performance analytical database and open-source data warehouse, which is a meaningful distinction. It speaks both to open-source adopters and to teams evaluating a commercial ecosystem around the same core project.

Its pricing posture needs careful wording. The official site clearly presents the open-source project and confirms Apache License 2.0 in the site footer, but it does not expose a public pricing table on the main project site. That means the software project itself is free to adopt, while commercial spend depends on deployment, operations, and any managed or vendor-led offering a buyer chooses outside the public OSS project pages.
