   Thanks for releasing this! How do you handle DDL queries? Are table changes synchronized to the Iceberg table automatically? Also, I recently started looking into olake[0] to serve the same purpose. What would you say differentiates Strea

   I’ve had very good experience with it last year. I used it at large scale with data that had been in iceberg previously and it worked flawlessly. It’s only improved since. Highly recommend.

   Data inlining is also currently limited to only the DuckDB catalog (ie it doesn't work with Postgres cataglogs)[0]. It's improving very quickly though and I'm sure this will be expanded soon. [0] https://ducklake.

    This looks really useful! Am I correct that there isn’t an S3 compatible API, just the “fetch” API? Being able to set an S3 client’s endpoint to proxy traffic straight through this would be quite useful.

    I've always wished that there was an option to whitelist certain area codes. I've had the same number for 20 years, and now live in a different part of the country. I get very little spam from local area codes -- but a ton spoof

    I'd love something like dd-wrt but for these cloud cameras. I have some Arlo cameras that I'd love to re-flash and run without the cloud service.

    Perhaps as a profit center to the tea industry. Most tea bags contain the grades of tea that can't be sold in the more expensive loose leaf form. Basically leaf fragments and dust. That material would otherwise be a waste product.

    I’ve been using it to great effect for the last year or so. It really is a breath of fresh air. In my case, I’m using a Django backend, but there are lots of successful folks using other backend stacks as well so choose what you know best.

    Ideally you’d used Parquet or ORC if querying from Athena/Trino/Presto. Since they are columnar formats you will enjoy considerably faster queues and lower query costs for most query patterns other than “select *…” since the query
