Apache Polaris provides the open foundation, but enterprises running enterprise-wide, AI-driven platforms need more than a standards-compliant catalog service. They need enterprise governance, automation, and business context that AI systems can reason over. As original co-creator of Apache Polaris and one of the project’s largest contributors, Dremio uses Polaris as the foundation of Dremio’s Open […]

Apache Polaris is now a Top-Level Project at the Apache Software Foundation. For anyone building on Apache Iceberg, this is one of the most important catalog milestones since the REST Catalog spec itself.

Pick one area. If your federated queries are taking too long, migrate the largest dataset to Iceberg and measure the difference. If your semantic layer is a mess of redundant definitions, consolidate into a Bronze-Silver-Gold structure. If you're paying for compute on queries that run identically every hour, enable Autonomous Reflections and let Dremio handle the tuning.

Data engineering teams are often defined by the gap between a business question and a verified answer. Requests languish in backlogs while engineering teams struggle with ETL pipelines and the technical debt of siloed warehouses. When reports finally arrive, the data is frequently stale, leading to debating the accuracy of the numbers rather than the […]

By unifying federation, a robust semantic layer, and autonomous performance tuning, Dremio transforms the lakehouse from a static repository into an active partner.

Dremio is a commercial platform, and we’re straightforward about that. But the standards and projects that power it are genuinely open, and Dremio has been an active contributor to building them, not just consuming them. Apache Arrow, Apache Iceberg, and Apache Polaris all have Dremio fingerprints on their design, specification, and governance. That work matters […]

The data lakehouse market has moved past the “is this real?” phase. According to Forrester’s The Data Lakehouses Landscape, Q1 2026, lakehouses are now the default architectural choice for modern analytics and AI workloads, driven by the need to simplify data architectures, control costs, and support modern analytics and AI workloads. For technology leaders navigating […]

By unifying all data sources, embedding deep business logic, and using AI to automate its own creation, this modern semantic layer removes the barriers that once made conversational analytics a distant dream.

Building an agentic lakehouse with Dremio moves your organization beyond the "phone book" catalog of the past and into a future where the catalog is a dynamic knowledge base.

Agentic analytics isn’t a trend. It’s the next phase of how organizations work with data. AI agents need access, speed, and context, across every system your business relies on.
