What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
TLP graduation, ~100 contributors, 2,819 merged PRs across six releases, and default-catalog adoption by Fivetran signal real maturity for the Iceberg-catalog use case, with scope deliberately limited to metadata governance.
Next
Stand up Polaris as the Iceberg REST catalog for multi-engine (Spark/Trino/Flink/Dremio) access; validate credential-vending and RBAC against your IdP before production cutover.
