Polars completes the Rust data engineering ecosystem: lazy evaluation, Apache Arrow, and native Iceberg V3 integration for performant analytics that compete with distributed clusters. The third pillar of the RisingWave + Lakekeeper + Polars stack.
An exploration of Lakekeeper, the Iceberg REST catalog in Rust that completes the data engineering ecosystem: enterprise security with vended credentials, multi-tenancy, and RisingWave integration to build streaming lakehouses without JVM
The partnership between RisingWave and Iceberg-Rust represents a window into where modern data engineering is heading: real-time CDC streaming, intelligent hybrid delete strategy, and a performant Rust ecosystem challenging JVM dominance.
