Program Overview: What is Apache Iceberg for Data Lakehouse Engineering?
Apache Iceberg for Data Lakehouse Engineering is a 24-hour program for data engineers and analytics teams moving to the lakehouse model. Participants work through six modules covering Iceberg architecture, table design, partition evolution, ingestion, time travel, and optimization and governance. Every module is taught against real lakehouse tooling, so concepts map directly to production workloads.
Training is hands-on from the first session: twelve guided labs have participants creating Iceberg tables, ingesting data, and running time-travel queries on live datasets. Instructors coach small cohorts through partition evolution, incremental reads, and compaction, with live feedback. Practice builds from single-table operations to multi-table pipelines, with troubleshooting clinics for common lakehouse failures. The program closes with a capstone in which each participant designs and builds a cloud lakehouse pipeline end to end.
Many teams store data in lakes they cannot query reliably or in warehouses whose costs balloon. Ad hoc partitioning rots, schema changes break downstream consumers, and recovery from bad writes is slow and manual. Engineers learn to apply Iceberg's hidden partitioning, snapshot isolation, and incremental reads so lakehouses stay fast, consistent, and governable.
Your engineers return having built a lakehouse that actually works, ingest, evolution, serving, hardening. The next ‘we should modernize our data platform’ conversation starts with experience, not slides.
Across six modules the program moves from lakehouse architecture and the Iceberg metadata model into applied workflows: table creation, batch and streaming ingestion, snapshot management, time travel, rollback, compaction, retention, and governance. Every module pairs concept delivery with instructor-guided labs so teams build real skills, not just awareness. The capstone asks teams to design, build, and present a full Iceberg lakehouse pipeline, including optimization and retention planning, so learning transfers directly to day-to-day work.

Where this Training Fits in Your Team's learning path.
Iceberg tables sit on a data lake and are processed with engines like Spark, so those come first. Your team builds the lake, processes it with PySpark, engineers Iceberg tables, and then places the lakehouse within a modern data architecture.

Build Iceberg Lakehouse Pipelines With Evolution and Recovery Controls
Edstellar helps data teams connect Iceberg table design with the lifecycle of an analytical pipeline. Participants inspect metadata, evolve schemas and partitions, and practice ingestion, rollback, and incremental reads. A complete lakehouse build brings these capabilities together with an optimization and retention plan, supported by operational evidence.
- Step 01
Consult
We explore lakehouse and pipeline responsibilities to identify needs in Iceberg metadata, schema evolution, ingestion, snapshot recovery, incremental access, and table maintenance.
- Step 02
Plan
We connect lakehouse foundations with evolving tables and ingestion before practicing time travel, rollback, optimization, and governance in a complete pipeline.
- Step 03
Align
We align instruction with data engineers, analytics developers, and platform teams, introducing table-format concepts through a lab catalog and suitable sample data.
- Step 04
Customize
We tailor schema changes, bad-write incidents, and degraded-table scenarios to familiar analytics workflows while preserving explicit checks on snapshots, consumers, and retention choices.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants build ingestion, recover snapshots, and tune tables, receiving feedback on evolution behavior, incremental-read correctness, and the evidence behind compaction and maintenance decisions.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the lakehouse pipeline for reliable ingestion, tested evolution and recovery, and an optimization and retention plan that accounts for downstream access needs.
