Hey folks,
We just published a recap of last week's LinkedIn Live with Alex Merced (Dremio) and Mike Ritchie (Definite). Worth a read if you're thinking about Iceberg or Duck Lake right now.
A few topics covered:
- Why Duck Lake exists when Iceberg is already mature
- The 18-month migration tax, and why open formats matter
-How AI agents are changing query economics
- Where row and column-level governance is heading

Worth flagging for anyone using the Meltano Duck Lake target: Mike confirmed it's the primary one in use today, and we got into where it shines vs Iceberg in the conversation. Happy to dig into any of this if folks have questions.
