The case for an iceberg-native database (warpstream.com)

While not related to the topic exactly, the blur under the translucent header was so distracting I had trouble reading the article. Usually I can overlook stuff like this; I can't explain why it bothered me so much.

Kinda off-topic but I love the quality of images used in this article. Even memes are HD. Quite rare as people tend to use whatever meme creator provides - super-pixelated, low-quality source image with text slapped on top.

The main selling point of the open table formats is to decouple the data from query engines.

Isn't that almost what we got with DuckDB + DuckLake?
