In this discussion, Dipankar - Cloudera’s Director of Developer Relations sits with Navita - Director of Product Marketing to unpack why Apache Iceberg has emerged as the foundation of the open lakehouse - and why it’s increasingly essential for modern Data & AI workloads. Dipankar & Navita walks through how Iceberg became the de facto standard among open table formats, what it's design enables (interoperability, engine-agnostic access, reliable metadata), and why openness matters as organizations move toward multi-engine, hybrid data architectures.
