1. Our extension is fully open-source. I believe they've open-sourced bits of their stack. 2. We are unopionated about open table formats: Iceberg and Delta. 3. In v0.2, we will support small write workloads. This will open up time-series and HTAP workloads.

It's a generally available (very solid) product powering some large production workloads, with fully transactional Iceberg, and auto-compaction. All SQL queries and almost all Postgres features are fully supported on Iceberg tables.

We are also seeing interesting patterns emerging with the ability to load/query csv/json/parquet/shapefile/... directly from S3 in combination with pg_parquet and pg_incremental. For instance, incrementally & transactionally loading CSV files that show up in S3 into Iceberg, or periodically exporting from Postgres to Parquet and then querying with data warehouse.
