What is lakeFS?

medium

Answer

$Git-like versioning for object storage (S3, GCS, Azure Blob).$
$Full branch / commit / merge for data lakes.$
$Every ingest creates a branch; validated; merged to main.$
$Rollback = revert commit.$
$Zero-copy branches (no data duplication).$
$Compatible with Spark, Iceberg, Delta, Hive.$
$Advantage over DVC: works on already-existing data lake without moving files; ACID over object storage.$
$Standard for data-lake reproducibility.$
