nessie VS datasette

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.

Simon Willison's github would be a great place to get started imo -

I'm a fan on simonw's datasette/dogsheep ecosystem https://datasette.io/

I use Anki the exact same way. After a lifetime of learning I have accepted that I will never read over anything I write for myself voluntarily - so my two options are:

1. Write an article so good I can publish it and look it over myself later on. I did this last year with https://andrew-quinn.me/fzf/, for example.

2. Create Anki cards out of the material. Use the builtin Card Browser or even https://datasette.io/ on the underlying SQLite database in a pinch to search for my notes any time I have to.

Were you aware of, or tempted by https://datasette.io/ for creating your solution?

Browsing HN, GitHub and the like we get to see a huge variety of software products and code bases.

I often see products and think - if this product X, got together with Y, it would be pretty cool - kind of like if they had a kid together.

Not too literally, but more on the conceptual level - my level of programming is low.

E.g. Just some....

You might like the Datasette project: https://datasette.io/

I don't think they are desperate for contributions but it's a welcoming environment and a fun project to hack on. You'll learn a lot just from reading the source and the incredibly informative PRs. The creator is a really talented developer with a great blog which shows up on the HN front page often.

Last year I worked through the challenges using VisiData, Datasette, and Pandas. I walked through my thought process and solutions in a series of posts.
