Making Object Storage Operational for Real-Time and AI Workloads

Object storage and open table formats like Apache Iceberg and Delta Lake have become foundational to modern data architectures for their scalability and cost efficiency. However, they’re not built for real-time, AI-driven workloads that demand low latency and sophisticated querying. Spice extends these technologies by federating and accelerating data, enabling hybrid search and inference, and transforming object storage into a high-performance data layer for operational applications and AI agents.
