PhoenixAI

Data Lakehouse

Query your lakehouse without copying the data.

Apache Iceberg made the lakehouse possible. PhoenixAI makes it fast. Query your lakehouse tables at sub-second latency — no ETL, no data movement, no separate warehouse to maintain.

The problem

The lakehouse is great for storage. Not always fast for queries.

The lakehouse query problem

Slow interactive queries force data movement

  • Complex analytical queries on Apache Iceberg take minutes, not seconds
  • Teams copy data into a warehouse just to get interactive performance
  • Two copies of data: one in the lake, one in the warehouse
  • Sync pipelines between lake and warehouse break and drift

With PhoenixAI

Data warehouse speed. Data lake economics.

  • Sub-second queries directly on Apache Iceberg tables
  • Intelligent tiered cache — no copy needed, warehouse-like speed
  • Single source of truth — no sync pipeline, no data drift
  • Query streaming and historical in the same query

Capabilities

The query layer your lakehouse needs.

What PhoenixAI adds to an Apache Iceberg architecture.

Native lakehouse integration

Native execution on lakehouse tables such as Apache Iceberg delivers data warehouse performance, directly on your lake tables — no copies required.

Intelligent tiered cache

Tiered cache across memory and local SSD delivers sub-second Apache Iceberg queries, with all your data persisted in the lake as a single source of truth.

Query streaming and historical in one query

Join or union real-time streaming data with historical lakehouse tables in the same SQL query. No federation overhead, no separate engine for each layer.

Async materialized views

Pre-compute hot data on Apache Iceberg tables. Queries automatically rewrite to hit the MV instead of scanning the full Iceberg table — sub-second answers on multi-petabyte fact tables.
