About OLake
OLake, built by Datazip, is an open-source tool that replicates data from databases like Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB and Oracle, plus Kafka and S3, straight into Apache Iceberg. It handles full loads and change data capture (CDC) quickly and reliably. OLake Fusion keeps those Iceberg tables compacted and optimized so queries stay fast. Together they help teams build an open lakehouse with no vendor lock-in.
