Snowplow Releases Lake Loader with Apache Iceberg and Delta Lake Support
Blog post from Snowplow
The latest version of the Snowplow Lake Loader enhances flexibility, performance, and cost-effectiveness for organizations adopting the lakehouse paradigm, which utilizes open table formats like Apache Iceberg and Delta Lake. This approach allows organizations to avoid the costs associated with loading data into a data warehouse, while also offering performance levels comparable to traditional data warehouses through platforms like Databricks, Snowflake, and BigQuery. The update improves the capability of transforming and writing Snowplow data more efficiently without increasing compute resources, thus reducing costs. It supports the latest versions of Iceberg and Delta, which provide enhanced performance, data consistency, and integration for both batch and streaming operations. Snowplow BDP customers can explore the Lake Loader's potential through demos and private previews.
