history

Project history and usage

Lakekeeper is an Apache-licensed Apache Iceberg REST Catalog implementation written in Rust. Its package history sits in the newer lakehouse control-plane ecosystem, where catalogs expose standard Iceberg metadata APIs to engines rather than being tied to one query system.

Project history

The project README describes Lakekeeper as a secure, fast, and easy-to-use implementation of the Apache Iceberg REST Catalog specification based on apache/iceberg-rust. Its docs present a split between the Iceberg REST API, served under /catalog for external query engines, and a management API under /management for Lakekeeper-specific entities such as projects, users, roles, warehouses, permissions, and multi-tenant setup.

Adoption history

Lakekeeper's README advertises integration testing or support badges for engines and clients including Spark, PyIceberg, Trino, and StarRocks, and its quickstart centers on Docker Compose with example notebooks and a UI. GitHub releases in June 2026 show a project moving quickly through authorization, storage, UI, and Iceberg REST compatibility work.

How it is used

Operators deploy Lakekeeper as a catalog service, point Iceberg-capable engines at the /catalog endpoint, and manage warehouses, storage profiles, credentials, and permissions through Lakekeeper's management layer. The project also implements an S3 remote signing API for warehouse access.

Why package nerds care

Lakekeeper is notable because it packages the Iceberg REST catalog layer as a self-hostable Rust service. For Homebrew and CLI/package watchers, it is a sign that lakehouse infrastructure tools are becoming small installable services, not only cloud-managed components.

Timeline

  • 2026-06-17: Lakekeeper v0.12.4 included multi-OIDC support and OneLake/Fabric private endpoint work.
  • 2026-06-30: Lakekeeper v0.13.0 included role, authorization, storage layout, generic table API, and Iceberg 1.11 signer property changes.
  • 2026-06-30: Lakekeeper v0.13.1 followed as a bug-fix release for the UI client ID handling.

Related projects

  • Lakekeeper is closely tied to Apache Iceberg, apache/iceberg-rust, Spark, PyIceberg, Trino, StarRocks, S3-compatible object stores, and broader open-lakehouse catalog projects.

No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for lakekeeper. Nucleus package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL.

Install behavior

  • No Homebrew post-install hook is recorded in formula metadata.
  • Homebrew bottle metadata is available for 6 platform targets.
  • Installs with 1 runtime dependencies.
  • Build metadata lists 2 build dependencies.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
