We're excited to announce the next virtual Apache Iceberg meetup next Friday, Nov 13th.
When: Nov 13, from 9:00-10:00am PST. Where: virtual Register on Luma: https://luma.com/5v3chprq Speaker: Alex Pajaron from Bunch Capital *Building an Open Lakehouse: Lessons from Spark, Iceberg and REST Catalogs.* In this demo-driven talk, we’ll explore what it takes to build a modern lakehouse pipeline on open table formats and object storage. Using Apache Spark, Apache Iceberg, the Polaris REST catalog, and S3-compatible storage, we’ll follow event data through multiple transformation layers and examine patterns for incremental processing, upserts, snapshot-based reads, and table maintenance. Beyond the happy path, the talk will focus on the integration challenges that emerge when these components meet: catalog and storage authentication, file I/O configuration, object-storage compatibility, and the boundaries between Spark, Iceberg, the catalog, and the storage layer. *Join the Community *Continue any conversations after the event via apache-iceberg's slack.
