About us | CelerData

How can we make enterprise analytics simpler and more efficient?

That was the question the team behind the StarRocks project was asking themselves as they set off to build what would become the industry's fastest open analytics database. Today, StarRocks has become a worldwide phenomenon, helping organizations of all sizes accelerate their analytics and simplify their data pipeline management. Yet, as StarRocks adoption has grown, so too have the analytics needs of enterprises. The challenges enterprises face in the analytics space are vast, complex, and require a level of dedicated support that an open project couldn't support on its own.

That's why we started CelerData, to bring more resources to the StarRocks project while helping businesses everywhere accelerate their analytics performance with the support and flexibility they need to stay focused on serving their customers and not managing their analytics solutions.

We're proud to be powered by the open source Linux Foundation project StarRocks. Together, with an amazing global community of contributors, CelerData is helping lead the way in open lakehouse technology.

Our Values

WE ARE OBSESSED WITH
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

Our customers are everything to us and guide every step of product development. We know that success can only be achieved through an intense focus on solving our customers' challenges, not what our competitors are working on.

WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT
WHAT WE DO AND HOW WE WORK

We do our best work when we're free to follow our interests and placed in an environment that's designed to help us succeed. That's why we're hyper-focused on building a work environment that is both empowering to our team members and one they actually look forward to participating in every day.

WE TAKE OWNERSHIP
IN ALL THAT WE DO

From every project to every product, we take complete ownership of the work we do. This means taking responsibility, yes, but it also means that every member of the team is given the flexibility and power to do what they feel is best for the company.

WE THINK BIG SO WE
CAN ACHIEVE THE IMPOSSIBLE

We encourage ambition and a healthy competitive spirit. We have high expectations for ourselves and our teams and encourage everyone to expand their vision for the business and think big. We know we may not always break records, but we give our all in everything that we do.

WE INNOVATE FEARLESSLY

As a startup, we have the luxury of being able to move quickly and try new things. Nobody gets things right the first time, and we understand that in order to foster innovation, team members need to feel safe taking risks. At CelerData we celebrate success, but we also recognize the value in learning from our misses.

WE ARE ALWAYS
OPEN AND TRANSPARENT

We can't deliver on any of our values unless we operate in an open and transparent way. We're always collaborating and sharing what we learn with each other to make sure that all of us can push forward with a clear vision of the future and make decisions built on the learnings of those who came before us.

WE ITERATE FAST
TO DELIVER RESULTS

Having a plan is important, but taking action is key. We don't let perfect be the enemy of good and are constantly collecting data and feedback to use to make our products, and company, better.
