Thanks for releasing this! How do you handle DDL queries? Are table changes synchronized to the Iceberg table automatically?

Also, I recently started looking into olake[0] to serve the same purpose. What would you say differentiates Streambed?

I’ve had very good experience with it last year. I used it at large scale with data that had been in iceberg previously and it worked flawlessly. It’s only improved since. Highly recommend.

Simon Willison wrote a good post about Dan Woods’ work on “Autoresearching Apple's "LLM in a Flash" to run Qwen 397B locally”.

I use them both depending on which feels more natural for the task, often within the same project. The interop is easy and very high performance thanks to Apache Arrow: `df = duckdb.sql(sql).pl()` and `result = duckdb.sql("SELECT * FROM df")`.

Data inlining is also currently limited to only the DuckDB catalog (ie it doesn't work with Postgres cataglogs)[0]. It's improving very quickly though and I'm sure this will be expanded soon.

This looks really useful! Am I correct that there isn’t an S3 compatible API, just the “fetch” API?

Being able to set an S3 client’s endpoint to proxy traffic straight through this would be quite useful.

IANAL but I believe "the rule against perpetuities" is one of the sticking points in using something like a trust as an institutional solution to this problem.
