Apache Polaris is an open‑source, cloud‑native data platform project under the Apache Software Foundation. It provides a unified catalog, governance, and data management capabilities across multiple storage backends such as Apache Ozone, Ceph, and RustFS. Polaris supports analytics engines like Spark, Trino, and Flink, and includes tools for migration, benchmarking, and synchronization. The project aims to simplify data lake management, enable observability via Prometheus and Jaeger, and integrate with authentication providers like Keycloak.
