Managed Iceberg in 2026: Autonomous Data Lake
Iceberg tables degrade silently — small files pile up, snapshots bloat metadata, and query latency creeps higher. A breakdown of the nine components every production data lake needs to stay healthy.
Solutions
Health, speed, cost, routing, governance, and AI readiness — one control plane for your entire lake.
Open and runs on your stack
Full Platform
Connect your catalog and every table gets maintained, optimized, and governed — across every engine, without a single script.
Table Maintenance
Compaction, snapshot expiry, orphan cleanup, and manifest rewrite — triggered by table health, run in dependency order.
File Layout
Learns WHERE, JOIN, and GROUP BY patterns, then re-sorts files to match. Runs on a purpose-built Rust engine — 95% faster than Spark.
FinOps
Query-aware layout, storage cleanup, Rust compaction, and routing each query to the cheapest engine — four levers that compound.
Multi-Engine
One SQL endpoint routes each query to Trino, Spark, Snowflake, DuckDB, or Athena — based on cost, latency, or workload type.
Visibility
Small-file ratio, snapshot backlog, manifest count, partition skew — one dashboard across every engine and catalog.
Policies & Compliance
Declarative maintenance policies for compaction, retention, and cleanup — scoped from organization to individual table, with full audit trails for compliance.
AI-Ready Lake
Agents connect via MCP with any Postgres or MySQL driver. Every query hits read-only, cost-cap, and PII guards automatically.
Performance
Query-aware sort optimization and engine routing deliver 12× faster queries with 51% less data scanned — without changing a line of SQL.
Migration
Migrate from Snowflake or Databricks to open Iceberg. LakeOps manages compaction, maintenance, and governance on both stacks — so you focus on the move.
The Platform
Observe, maintain, compact, route, and govern — from one console, via REST API, or through an MCP server for AI agents.
