| description.long | Apache Doris is an open-source, real-time database for modern analytics and AI. Run it shared-nothing on bare metal, or disaggregated on cloud object storage. | Apache Iceberg is a table format that enables reliable, ACID-compliant SQL operations on big data. It allows multiple query engines—such as Spark, Trino, Flink, Hive, and Impala—to safely read and write the same tables concurrently, bringing traditional database semantics to analytics workloads. |
