From Postgres to Iceberg
Iceberg is able to efficiently manage large amounts of data stored in the data lake. The data layer supports storing data in open formats like Apache parquet or Avro. Apache Parquet is an open columnar data format for efficient data storage and retrieval. With this, you automatically get the benefits of column storage for your analytical workloads. Engines like Apache Spark, Apache Flink, Presto, Trino etc can be used for the compute layer for data querying and processing.

Why Data Security is Broken and How to Fix it?
Security Aware Data Metadata Data schema formats such as Avro and Json currently lack built-in support for data sensitivity or security-aware metadata. Additionally, common formats like Parquet and Iceberg, while efficient for storing large datasets, don’t natively include security-aware metadata. At Jarrid, we are exploring various metadata formats to incorporate data sensitivity and security-aware attributes that can be easily tracked at the data lake, file, and even down to the field level. By tagging security-aware metadata directly into the data schema, tracking encryption keys and enforcing security policies across data pipelines and storage becomes easier. Currently, Keyper makes encryption key permissions configuration-driven and trackable, ensuring that encryption keys and their access rules are well-managed, version-controlled, and easy to audit.

How do you update an existing avro schema using apache avro SchemaBuilder?
I am testing a new schema registry which loads and retrieves different kinds of avro schemas. In the process of testing, I need to create a bunch of different types of avro schemas. As it involves a lot of permutations, I decided to create the schema programmatically.I am using the apache avro SchemaBuilder to do so.

gRPC on the client side
Other serialization alternatives have a schema validation option: e.g., Avro, Kryo and Protocol Buffers. Interestingly enough, gRPC uses Protobuf to offer RPC across distributed components:
