dvc VS nessie

Collaboration and version control are crucial in AI/ML development projects due to the iterative nature of model development and the need for reproducibility. GitHub is the leading platform for source code management, allowing teams to collaborate on code, track issues, and manage project milestones. DVC (Data Version Control) complements Git by handling large data files, data sets, and machine learning models that Git can't manage effectively, enabling version control for the data and model files used in AI projects.

What you’re describing sounds like DVC (at a higher-ish—80%-solution level).

Platforms such as MLflow monitor the development stages of machine learning models. In parallel, Data Version Control (DVC) brings version control system-like functions to the realm of data sets and models.

I was using DVC (https://dvc.org/) for some time to help solve this but it was getting hard to manage the storage connections and I would run into cache issues a lot, but this solves it using git-lfs itself.

DVC (Data Version Control):

I have been using DVC and MLflow since then DVC had only data tracking and MLflow only model tracking. I can say both are awesome now and maybe the only factor I would like to mention is that IMO, MLflow is a bit harder to learn while DVC is just a git practically.

Nessie is an innovative open-source catalog that extends beyond the traditional catalog capabilities in the Apache Iceberg ecosystem, introducing git-like features to data management. This catalog not only tracks table metadata but also allows users to capture commits at a holistic level, enabling advanced operations such as multi-table transactions, rollbacks, branching, and tagging. These features provide a new layer of flexibility and control over data changes, resembling version control systems in software development.

Try Nessie https://github.com/projectnessie/nessie - it recently got trino support as well ..

Project Nessie (https://projectnessie.org/) will be the catalog that eventually decouples Iceberg from Hive. At that point, I think it will be a no brainer to go Iceberg over Delta.

The Dremio Sonar query engine can query your data where it exists whether it's AWS Glue, S3, Nessie Catalogs, MySQL, Postgres, RedShift and an ever growing list of sources.

We will also need a catalog to track all of these tables, with the open source Project Nessie we can do just that, and also get great versioning features similar to using Git when developing applications allowing data engineers to practice "data as code" and "write-audit-publish" patterns on their data.
