Saw this earlier today elsewhere but hadn't clicked in & hadn't seen it was Snowflake doing this! Whoooaaa! Incredible to me that they're taking such a seemingly strong stand to facilitate interop between products, versus strongly favoring Snowflake stuff.

Core quote, to me:

Polaris Catalog implements Iceberg’s open REST API to maximize the number of engines you can integrate. Today, this includes Apache Doris, Apache Flink, Apache Spark, PyIceberg, StarRocks, Trino and more commercial options in the future, like Dremio. You can also use Snowflake to both read from and write to Iceberg tables with Polaris Catalog because of Snowflake’s expanded support for catalog integrations with Iceberg’s REST API (in public preview soon).
