#Tableflow
The data lake small files problem:

Write often > lots of files > slow queries
Compaction > writer conflicts
Compact daily > stale performance + compute spikes

Iceberg is a spec, not a database.

WarpStream Tableflow is the database: Kafka in, compacted Iceberg out 👉 buff.ly/912xRRA

In addition to supporting Avro, WarpStream BYOC Schema Registry supports Protobuf. This functionality maintains complete compatibility with Confluent’s Schema Registry.
Going All in on Protobuf With Schema Registry and Tableflow
We originally launched our BYOC Schema Registry product with full support for Avro schemas. We’re excited to share that our Schema Registry now supports Protobuf schemas, with complete compatibility…

Need to get Apache Kafka® topics into Iceberg tables? Don't use Spark or rely on tiered storage. Use WarpStream Tableflow. It's so simple that it almost feels like magic and does it with low latency while taking care of compaction 👉 buff.ly/UmlNZ8U

An experiment on LLM-powered interfaces for business intelligence:
1. User asks a data-related question
2. LLM writes SQL query & sends request via #MCP
3. #Trino queries Iceberg table that has access to #ApacheKafka through #Tableflow

LLM-Powered interfaces for business intelligence: Kafka → Iceberg → Trino → You

Data analytics for everyday life!
Streaming, enhancing and aggregating data from my very biased BlueSky feed (#NeedsMoreCats) 🐱
#ApacheKafka → #ApacheFlink (with calls to LLM for vibes & tags) → #Tableflow → #ApacheIceberg → #Trino → #Superset

1/ Leveraging Remote storage manager and storing Kafka segments as parquet files + iceberg metadata is really good. Avoids having to consume, serialize and manage a separate process.
I wonder if confluent's TableFlow launched about a year back has a similar design. www.confluent.io/blog/introdu...
