LAKEHOUSEOne table.
Every workload
Collapse the warehouse and the lake into a single plane of truth. One query. One copy. One governance layer. Zero vendor lock-in.
FASTER THAN WAREHOUSE-ONLY
TPC-DS BENCHMARK · 10TB SCALE FACTOR
MEASURED VS SNOWFLAKE, BIGQUERY, REDSHIFT
Twelve dimensions.
One clear winner.
We benchmarked Lakehouse against traditional warehouses, raw data lakes, and leading SaaS platforms across the dimensions that actually matter at 3 AM when a pipeline is down.

One copy.
Infinite perspectives.
Traditional architectures duplicate data between lake and warehouse, creating governance nightmares and runaway costs. Lakehouse stores data once in open Delta/Iceberg format, serving every workload from a single source of truth.
