The data lake was once heralded as the future, an infinitely scalable reservoir for all our raw data, promising to transform it into actionable insights. This was a logical progression from databases and data warehouses, each step driven by the increasing demand for scalability. Yet, in embracing the data lake's| MinIO Blog
Apache Iceberg is significantly transforming modern data lakes. Its introduction to object storage platforms has been celebrated for delivering ACID transactions, strong schema evolution, and warehouse-like reliability to data lake architectures. The Iceberg Catalog API standard is crucial to this transformation, as it ensures that various tools can consistently discover| MinIO Blog
In data engineering, open standards are foundational for building interoperable, evolvable, and non-proprietary systems. Apache Iceberg, an open table format, is a prime example. Along with compute, Iceberg brings structure and reliability to data lakes. When coupled with high-performance object storage like MinIO AIStor, Iceberg unlocks new avenues for creating| MinIO Blog
