Why Apache Iceberg?
Apache Iceberg is an open table format purpose-built for large scale analytics. It delivers the reliability and simplicity of SQL tables, providing data warehouse-like capabilities directly on data lake storage.
Apache Iceberg is not a storage, it’s not a database, and it’s not a compute engine. It is a metadata management layer that sits on top of your data files, stored wherever you want. Iceberg makes data accessible to multiple compute engines concurrently while guaranteeing data reliability and consistency.
Agent-ready Data to Power Your AI
Build your next AI agent, powered by your enterprise data, in a secure and controlled way.
Reasons for adopting Iceberg.
Openness
Iceberg is fully open, vendor-agnostic, and engine-agnostic. It has the broadest community support from both vendors and non-vendors, which accelerates unbiased innovation.
Modern data warehouse functionality
Iceberg features, such as transactional consistency, hidden partitioning, schema evolution, and time travel, ease data operations.
Petabyte-scale analytics
Iceberg was built from the ground up, eliminating the bottlenecks of previous table formats by maintaining its own metadata layer.

Apache Iceberg guarantees full ownership of your data
Cloudera’s open data lakehouse with Iceberg means we have an open table format with a lot of advanced functionality, which makes it easier to use and maintain our data. The open table format is important to us, because it means data can be accessed easily by many users with a variety of tools. The open table format is a fundamental requirement because the company data is the property of the company itself, not a specific vendor. So an open table format guarantees that whatever may happen with technology in the future, you have full ownership of your data.
