It Depends #68:Dive into lakehouse, Iceberg, Delta, Unity, Polaris, DuckDB - Doron & Liran - Aug ’24

I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Doron Porat and Liran Yogev, two trailblazers who were building and maintaining lakehouses long before the term even existed! From leading data infrastructure at Yotpo to now embarking on their own stealth startup, Doron and Liran bring invaluable insights into the ever-evolving data and analytics space.
In this episode, we dive into some of the most pressing questions and trends shaping the future of data:
🔹 Snowflake vs. Databricks: Which one should you choose, and how do you evaluate them? We cover functionality, use cases, cost, user experience, and serverless performance.
🔹 Lakehouses: Why is it the killer architecture for data analytics?
🔹 Unity Catalog vs. Polaris: How do these two data governance solutions compare?
🔹 Open Table Formats: What's the difference between Iceberg, Delta, Hudi, and Paimon?
🔹 Analytical Engines: From Spark to Presto/Trino/Velox and Apache Data Fusion, what's the hottest engine right now?
🔹 DuckDB / MotherDuck: How do they fit into your data landscape?
🔹 Open Source Landscape: With changes like Elastic returning to OSS, how is the open-source software scene evolving?
If you're navigating the complex world of data infrastructure and analytics, this episode is a must-listen!
