The concept of data marts has long been a pivotal strategy for organizations seeking to provide specialized access to critical data for their business units. Traditionally, data marts were seen as satellite databases, each carved out from the central data warehouse and designed to serve specific departments or teams. These data marts played a vital […]

The Databricks platform is widely used for extract, transform, and load (ETL), machine learning, and data science. When using Databricks, it's essential to save your data in a format compatible with the Databricks File System (DBFS). This ensures that either the Databricks Spark or Databricks Photon engines can access it. Delta Lake is designed for […]

We're always looking for ways to better handle and save money on our data. That's why the "data lakehouse" is becoming so popular. It offers a mix of the flexibility of data lakes and the ease of use and performance of data warehouses. The goal? Make data handling easier and cheaper. So, how do we […]

This article has been revised and updated from its original version published in 2022 to reflect the latest developments in all three table formats. The three major open table formats (Apache Iceberg, Delta Lake, and Apache Hudi) each solve the "open lakehouse" problem differently at the architectural level. While the high-level comparison covers features and ecosystem support, […]

Using Airbyte, you can easily ingest data from countless possible data sources into your S3-based data lake, and then directly into Apache Iceberg format. The Apache Iceberg tables are easily readable directly from your data lake using the Dremio data lakehouse platform, which allows for self-service data curation and delivery of that data for ad hoc analytics, BI dashboards, analytics applications, and more.

In the last decade, a lot of innovation in the data space took place to address the need for more storage, more compute, hybrid environments, data management automation, self-service analytics, and lower TCO to operate business at scale.

In this blog, learn how Dremio helps end users analyze massive datasets in their semantic layer without sacrificing speed or ease of use.

This article has been revised and updated from its original version published in 2022 to reflect the latest Dremio and Apache Iceberg capabilities. JSON is the lingua franca of APIs, event streams, and NoSQL databases, but its nested, schema-on-read nature makes it challenging for analytical queries. Converting JSON data to Apache Iceberg tables flattens nested […]

Apache Iceberg is a data lakehouse table format that has been taking the data world by storm with robust support from tools like Dremio, Fivetran, Airbyte, AWS, Snowflake, Tabular, Presto, Apache Flink, Apache Spark, Trino, and so many more. Although one of the tools most data professionals use is Apache Spark and many introductory tutorials […]
