Starling: A Scalable Query Engine on Cloud Functions

Summary: Starling: scalable, serverless query engine with hundreds of stateless workers and mitigated stragglers. Delivers interactive latency at lower total cost than provisioned clusters for bursty analytics; scales to larger data, including 1TB TPC-H datasets. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
