The big tech companies like Apple and Netflix all use Iceberg

Apple uses Delta: https://databricks.com/session_na20/patterns-and-operational..., similarly Disney+: https://databricks.com/p/webinar/unlock-the-potential-inside..., and hundreds other companies (https://databricks.com/customers)

Apple has named committees and tech talks on iceberg. Like all big companies they use multiple technologies

Yes, we run iceberg and it’s pretty thorough

Curious why you chose it over Delta Lake? What does your ETL/BI stack look like?

Iceberg is community driven

The specification is more transparent

Looking into setting up a Lakehouse/Datalake over the coming quarters. I'd say the biggest appeal to us is that Iceberg can handle schema drift/evolution, and a little more open.
