The data lakehouse is built on a deceptively simple idea: add a metadata and transaction layer on top of cheap object storage, and you get warehouse-grade reliability at lake-scale costs. The table format is that layer — and three formats dominate the market: Apache Iceberg, Delta Lake, and Apache Hudi.

All three solve the same core problem. The differences in how they solve it have real consequences for query performance, streaming support, tooling compatibility, and operational complexity. This post cuts through the marketing to give you a technical basis for choosing.
