In this webinar, Viktor and Yingjun will take you on a deep dive into catalog services, the backbone of modern data lakes. As data ecosystems grow, managing schema evolution, transactions, and governance becomes increasingly complex. This webinar explores why traditional data lakes have struggled and how open-source catalogs like Iceberg Catalog, Nessie, Hive Metastore, and Lakekeeper address these challenges. From schema management to snapshot tracking and access control, you'll get a better understanding of how different catalog solutions ensure scalability, consistency, and performance in data lake architectures.
