Polaris Catalog
Managed service for Apache Polaris™
Apache Polaris is currently undergoing incubation at the Apache Software Foundation
Read and write interoperably
Take advantage of open standards to read and write from any REST-compatible engine.
Centralize access across engines
Manage Iceberg tables for all users and engines in one place.
Adapt without worrying about vendor lock-in
Run Apache Polaris in your infrastructure of choice — with Snowflake Open Catalog or your own containers.
Maintain one data copy that many engines can query and write to
Iceberg’s open source REST protocol provides an open standard allowing you to read and write from any REST-compatible engine — Apache Flink™, Apache Spark™, PyIceberg, Trino and more.
Streamline data management with centralized access
Centralize management in Snowflake Open Catalog, where every user and engine can find and access Iceberg tables from one place.
Run anywhere without lock-in
An open source, vendor-neutral catalog promotes interoperability with Iceberg. Get started Snowflake Open Catalog in minutes, or self-host Apache Polaris in your own infrastructure — either way, no lock-in. Should you want to swap your underlying infrastructure, you retain all namespaces, privileges, table definitions and more.
