Streamhouse: A shared data architecture for the age of AI

Aiven, Confluent, Redpanda, StreamNative and Ververica established the Streamhouse Working Group and published an open, vendor-neutral definition of Streamhouse.

WDYT?

I work at Conduktor, so I agree with the technical building blocks being described, to form a coherent real-time architecture in a business. But right now, this feels mostly like an attempt to claim a category early rather than anything else: it's still very high-level and does not describe a concrete reference architecture.

Is this to package Kafka/streaming + Iceberg/lakehouse + catalog/governance packaged under a new name for the AI era?
