The Value of Iceberg-Based Open Data Lakehouses: Enabling BI and AI Applications with Open Table Formats
This white paper explains how Apache Iceberg–based open data lakehouses unify structured and unstructured data for analytics and AI. They combine the flexibility of data lakes with the reliability of data warehouses, enabling ACID transactions, multi-engine querying, and vendor independence. The report finds that 75% of Iceberg adopters analyze larger data volumes confidently and predicts 80% adoption by 2027. Managed cloud services are recommended to overcome ingestion, optimization, and governance complexity.
