The Lakehouse Ingestion Tool Landscape: Fivetran, Airbyte, dlt, and CDC vs Batch
September 02, 2026How Fivetran, Airbyte, dlt, and CDC and streaming tools land well-behaved Apache Iceberg tables, and how to choose and maintain them.
How Fivetran, Airbyte, dlt, and CDC and streaming tools land well-behaved Apache Iceberg tables, and how to choose and maintain them.
Iceberg row lineage gives rows a durable identity across rewrites. Why CDC pipelines and AI workloads will eventually depend on it.
Apache Iceberg v3 deletion vectors for high-throughput streaming ingest: how bitmaps and Puffin files fix CDC write amplification and read decay.
How Iceberg V3 deletion vectors replaced accumulating positional delete files and made merge-on-read viable for streaming and CDC tables.
Every path for streaming data into Iceberg in 2026 — Flink, Spark, Kafka Connect, broker-native, managed pipelines — with honest latency numbers and sub-second hybrid architectures.
