Adopt with guardrails
- Why
- The Iceberg path is genuinely GA with primary-vendor backing and named adopters, and it eliminates bespoke Kafka->lake ETL with claimed 30-50% lower TCO — but Azure/Delta maturity gaps, total Confluent-Cloud lock-in, and consumption metering mean it should be scoped to the mature format and one cloud first.
- Next
- Pilot Iceberg materialization (the GA-mature, March-2025 format) on one high-value topic against an existing Glue/Snowflake catalog; defer Delta/OneLake until past EA; validate schema-evolution and DLQ behavior under real malformed-record load; model per-topic-hour + GB-processed cost (and 2026 upsert pricing) before scaling topics.
