Amen, data brother
Serhii Sokolenko@datancoff.ee · last yr.Forgive me, Data Father, I have sinned. We at Tower created an orchestrator that is not a data flow and not a DAG. It has: - a way to run apps - a way to wait for runs to finish - a scheduler That's it You can't solve world hunger with it, but everything else you can tower.dev/blog/pythoni...
🚨 New Features Monday! 1️⃣ Support for Iceberg Catalogs inside Tower apps 2️⃣ Tower SDK with Tower Tables, probably the simplest way to read and write to Iceberg tables from Python code “pip install tower” installs both the Tower CLI and the SDK including Tables. tower.dev/blog/launchi...
I am pretty excited about @tower.dev (as a user, not just an investor :). I have long suffered at the hands of both the Docker and Python ecosystems. Tower solves both. Plus, it play nicely with scheduling, orchestration, and open table formats! If you're working with Python, you should try it.

A few weeks ago, we demoed Tower.dev at the AI Launchpad stage of the Data Council. Several dozen prospect conversations later, I finally had the time to post some pictures and the most memorable moments from that week. tower.dev/blog/ai-laun...
The @tower.dev team went to the Iceberg Summit and came back with 7 takeaways from 7 Iceberg user talks from Airbnb, Bloomberg, Pinterest, Wise, Autodesk, Mediaset (Bauplan), and Slack. tower.dev/blog/seven-t...
We tried it out and wrote our review! @motherduck.com build a local UI for @duckdb.org
Serhii Sokolenko@datancoff.ee · last yr.The ducks have done it again. Kudos to the @motherduck.com team for building a local UI for DuckDB: 1️⃣ Use this UI on your laptop to run SQL queries on Iceberg tables in S3 2️⃣ Get closer to the multi-engine, shared storage nirvana 3️⃣ Set-up time of ⌚ 32 minutes, door-to-door tower.dev/blog/get-a-g...

AI coding assistants like Cursor are not the 10x productivity boosters for data engineers and not their replacements, as some talking heads claim. But they can be 10x multipliers for another group of folks - the 😎 customers of 👷 data engineers! tower.dev/blog/ai-auto...
Our founder @datancoff.ee has something to say about using Python-only tools to read/write to an Iceberg open lakehouse.
Serhii Sokolenko@datancoff.ee · 2y agoFinal post of my series on how to build an open, multi-engine lakehouse using Python-only tools is out. Learn how to use 🐻❄️Polars to query an open lakehouse, enabled by a managed 🛏️REST Iceberg catalog. tower.dev/blog/ducks-v...
Take a read of this 1️⃣ 2️⃣ 3️⃣ step-by-step guide for setting up an Iceberg catalog using Snowflake Open Catalog. 🗓️ Tomorrow's post will be about using 🧸 Polars & 💘 PyArrow to write/query an open ⛴️ lakehouse using the said Iceberg catalog! tower.dev/blog/how-to-...
In the process of answering this fundamental question, @datancoff.ee looks at managed and unmanaged Iceberg catalogs: ❄️ Snowflake-native and Snowflake Open Catalog ☃️ Apache Polaris 🔥 Apache Gravitino 🚣♀️ Lakekeeper 🤝 Unity Catalog from Databricks 🙏 AWS Glue 🦈 Dremio & Nessie 🖐 Hive Metastore
Serhii Sokolenko@datancoff.ee · 2y agoToday's Hamlets, Princes of Denmark, ask the question differently: "To use or Not to use Snowflake Open Catalog as managed Iceberg catalog?" I summoned the inner Shakespeare and penned an answer. Lemme know what you think. Or not. tower.dev/blog/picking...
Our co-founder @datancoff.ee is wondering whether Python can compete with DuckDB and Spark as the "query engine" for Iceberg open lakehouses. Can it? tower.dev/blog/buildin...
