Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Proceed with caution

Why
Architecturally compelling (Postgres-as-catalog, DuckDB execution, zero-ETL to Iceberg) and Apache-2.0 licensed, but it is a fresh open-source v3.0 with no production guarantee, Iceberg v2-only, and analyst-flagged operational gaps.
Next
Pilot pg_lake on a non-critical Postgres instance writing Iceberg-on-S3, measuring write throughput and concurrent-writer behaviour against current warehouse before any production dependency.
