No mention of Hudi? I really liked using Hudi in a recent project. It feels so close to hitting that maturity level where it’s viable for a small team to maintain without introducing too many living parts.

Overall, I like the whole concept of the Lakehouse because it can be done cheaply.

Most datalakes turn into swamps pretty quickly, so cheaper is better.

Let it sit unused for a while in S3 and then quietly nuke it without burning money on a big compute environment.
