About Dremio

Dremio provides an open lakehouse platform that runs SQL queries directly on data in object storage using Apache Iceberg and its own query acceleration. It offers a managed cloud service and a self-managed enterprise edition, and an open catalog based on Apache Polaris. It targets teams avoiding lock-in to a proprietary warehouse.

Common use cases

  • Lakehouse analytics
  • Warehouse offload
  • Self-service BI
  • AI-ready data access

What stands out

Things to consider
