A Lakehouse future without Tabular. What does it mean for you?

The Apache Iceberg table format is one of the most disruptive innovations in recent years to how engineers and systems store, manage and access data.

At the end of July, 2024, Databricks will finalize their acquisition of  Tabular, the leading managed Iceberg company, illustrating the classic “If You Can’t Beat Them, Buy Them” strategy. This leaves executives, engineers and tool vendors unsure of:

• Will Databricks continue to sell the Tabular product or phase it out?
• How well will Iceberg and Delta Lake interoperate?
