The Future Isn't One Engine. It's a Control Plane.

The future of data platforms isn't one engine. It's specialized engines on shared data, and a control plane that decides where each workload runs and how the tables stay fast.

Iceberg Lakehouse with AI Agents: A Guide

AI agents are becoming primary consumers of Iceberg lakehouse data — querying tables iteratively, at high frequency, and without human review. This guide walks through the five components your infrastructure needs to support agentic workloads — MCP connectivity, guardrails, multi-engine routing, self-optimizing storage, and observability — and shows how LakeOps provides each one.

Routing Multiple Query Engines with Iceberg

How to route queries across Trino, Spark, DuckDB, Snowflake, Athena, and Flink on shared Iceberg tables — covering the architecture of a SQL routing proxy, dialect translation, routing strategies, table-aware optimization, and the tooling that makes it work.

Optimizing Apache Iceberg for Agentic AI: From Slow Tables to Sub-Second Agent Queries

AI agents issue SQL iteratively, repeat query templates at high frequency, and need sub-second responses from tables designed for batch workloads. This post covers what breaks when agents hit a production Iceberg lake — and the five infrastructure layers that fix it: MCP connectivity, guardrails, multi-engine routing, self-optimizing storage, and closed-loop feedback.
