Built in the open

Vakamo is built on open standards and open source. Our governance engine — Lakekeeper — is Apache-2.0 licensed: inspectable, engine-agnostic and free to run anywhere.

Lakekeeper — the open Iceberg REST catalog

Lakekeeper is an open-source Apache Iceberg REST catalog: one control plane for access control, credential vending and lineage across your lakehouse. Any Iceberg-compatible engine can connect — Spark, Trino, PyIceberg, Starburst and more — with no lock-in.

Why open source

Governance you can inspect

Inspectable, not a black box

The governance engine is open — read it, audit it, extend it. Trust comes from being able to see how access is decided, not from a promise.

No lock-in

Built on the Apache Iceberg REST standard and engine-agnostic — your catalog is never tied to a single vendor’s compute.

Shaped in public

Roadmap, issues and design happen in the open, with contributors from across the data ecosystem.

Community · Across Europe

We're building the Apache Iceberg community — across Europe

The Apache Iceberg Meetup Europe brings engineers, data teams and open-source contributors together in person, city by city — talks, live demos and the hallway conversations that move the lakehouse ecosystem forward.
