Architecting an Apache Iceberg Lakehouse (Audiobook)

Design an Apache Iceberg lakehouse from scratch!

The “lakehouse” data architecture is a powerful way to combine the flexibility of data lakes with the management features of data warehouses. The open source Apache Iceberg framework delivers the scalability, reliability, and performance you want from a lakehouse without the expense and vendor lock-in of platforms like Snowflake, BigQuery, and Redshift.

In Architecting an Apache Iceberg Data Lakehouse, data guru Alex Merced shows you

How to create a modular, scalable Iceberg lakehouse architecture
Where Spark, Flink, Dremio, Polaris fit into your design
Reliable batch and streaming ingestion pipelines
Strategies for governance, security, and performance at scale

Apache Iceberg is an open source table format perfect for massive analytic datasets. Iceberg enables ACID transactions, schema evolution, and high-performance queries on data lakes using multiple compute engines like Spark, Trino, Flink, Presto, and Hive. An Iceberg data lakehouse enables fast, reliable analytics at scale while retaining the observability you need for compliance audits, governance, and provable data security.
