Dremio has announced the general availability of ‘Dremio Cloud‘ free data lakehouse platform and the addition of two new services: Dremio Sonar, a lakehouse engine built for SQL, and Dremio Arctic, a metadata and data management service for Apache Iceberg that provides a unique Git-like experience for the lakehouse.

Dremio Sonar is a free service that is purpose-built for SQL and delivers all the performance and functionality of a data warehouse on Amazon S3, without lock-in, cost, and excessive data copies. Powered by Apache Arrow, Dremio Sonar’s best-in-class query performance empowers companies to run mission-critical business intelligence (BI), from ad-hoc queries to low-latency dashboards, directly on the lakehouse.

Powered by the open source Apache Iceberg project, Dremio Sonar fully supports SQL Data Manipulation Language (DML) insert, update, delete operations directly on the lakehouse. Because the data is automatically optimized in Amazon S3 as it is being changed, customers no longer need to fall back to a data warehouse when data is rapidly mutating.

Dremio Arctic, again a free service, delivers a Git-like experience for the data lakehouse, powered by the open source projects Iceberg and Nessie. Dremio Arctic’s Nessie-based metastore simplifies data engineering and analysis by making data workflows as powerful and intuitive as working with source code.

Dremio Arctic is now in Public Preview with support for a wide variety of lakehouse engines, including Spark, Flink, Presto, Trino, and Dremio Sonar.

Dremio Sonar is now generally available, and Dremio Arctic is in public preview.
