Science data comes in tables and tensors

Science data comes in tables and tensors

September 23, 2026

Apache Iceberg comes to Arraylake. Tables now live alongside Icechunk arrays in the same catalog, under the same permissions, in your own buckets — queryable from DuckDB, Spark, Trino, Snowflake, and Zax-SQL.

Our compute roadmap: introducing Zax SQL

Our compute roadmap: introducing Zax SQL

September 15, 2026

We're introducing Zax, a new query and compute engine for multidimensional scientific data, and Zax-SQL, the first interface to it. Zax plans your computation for you, so you are no longer responsible for tuning chunk sizes, worker counts, and memory limits.
