Data Lakehouse Unifies Tools And Cuts Cost

  • Data lakehouses add table and catalog layers on top of raw data lakes to restore database-like guarantees.
  • This lets many tools use a single consistent copy of data, reducing movement and cost.
INSIGHT

Lakehouses Shift Analytics Away From Warehouses

  • Lakehouses don't replace application databases but are displacing analytic data warehouses.
  • Major warehouse providers are adding Iceberg support to stay relevant with single-copy data demands.
ADVICE

Pick A Catalog That Implements The REST Spec

  • Choose an Iceberg-compatible catalog (Nessie, Polaris, or others) to enable broad tool compatibility.
  • Prefer catalogs implementing the Iceberg REST spec so tools can talk uniformly to your catalog.
