Workshop: Query Plan Analysis Deep‑Dive with Starburst

This 90-minute workshop builds on our “Trino Query Fundamentals” webinar series. With those foundations in place, we’ll dive straight into live query plan analysis.

In this webinar, Starburst expert Lester Martin will work through real examples of reading and comparing query plans, spotting common performance anti-patterns, and applying practical fixes across joins, filters, aggregations, and partitions. You’ll follow along step by step so you can bring the same techniques back to your own environment.

You’ll learn how to:

• Read and interpret query plans in Starburst/Trino to understand where time and resources are really spent
• Diagnose common performance issues and apply targeted optimizations
• Leverage both the text based output and the visualization tool when reviewing query plans
