I’m not super into the Data sphere but my company relies heavily on Snowflake which is becoming an issue.

This announcement seems huge to me, no?!

Is this really an open source Snowflake covering most use cases?

there's also plenty of other options for warehouse/compute processing of iceberg data storage.

I think this is a pretty big deal, though.

Snowflake does a lot more, though, especially around sharing data across company boundaries.
