"Apache Iceberg – The Open Table Format for Lakehouse AND Data Streaming" => My latest blog post... Perfect weekend read :-) Every data-driven organization has operational and analytical workloads. A best of breed approach emerges with various data platforms, including #datastreaming, data lake, data warehouse and #lakehouse solutions and cloud services. An open table format framework like #ApacheIceberg is essential in the enterprise architecture to ensure reliable data management and sharing, seamless schema evolution, efficient handling of large-scale datasets and cost-efficient storage while providing strong support for ACID transactions and time travel queries. This blog post explores market trends, adoption of table format frameworks like Iceberg, #ApacheHudi, #DeltaLake and #ApacheXTable, and the product strategy of leading vendors of data platforms such as Snowflake, Databricks (Apache Spark), Confluent (Apache Kafka / Flink), Amazon Athena and Google BigQuery. Looking forward to your thoughts and feedback on one of the most interesting developments in the software industry... https://lnkd.in/edNst5wR
It's sad that Iceberg isn't even well suited for Confluent or streaming, but because one other vendor chose to support only iceberg it forces the dominoes to fall. Paimon and Hud (even Delta to some degree) are miles ahead on performance and functionality for real-time scenarios, but seems few people want to talk about the technical engineering details... 🤦
Kai, curious, how would you fit Apache Paimon into this discussion, as another new kid on the block? G
Kai, nice graph, thanks BUT, "you name it" has its limitations, as all the others: which enables your business purpose best ...
SingleStore Also supports integration with Apache Iceberg (in public preview). You can now use SingleStore to seamlessly ingest data from and write back to Iceberg tables — in real time, with no additional tooling required.

Your content is excellent!
Splendid post shared on APACHE ICEBERG. Kai Waehner Data engineers must have a look at the features it provides for data streaming and data lake house.
Your nuanced analysis of market trends and product strategies adds great depth to the discussion.
Great post, Kai!
Love this

4wI still don't get what makes Iceberg so special, before all those table wars there was Kudu from Cloudera, which has never really taken off, and say Delta Lake - by feature-to-feature comparisons it's just better, why all off this fuzz about Iceberg?
