Ryft

Ryft is the intelligent Apache Iceberg management platform - a data lakehouse optimization layer that continuously monitors, manages, and optimizes Iceberg tables across query engines and clouds. It provides automated table compaction, snapshot and data lifecycle management, orphan-file and compliance cleanup (GDPR/CCPA), an Asset and Query Explorer, and usage-based self-tuning that reduces lakehouse TCO and speeds up queries. Ryft integrates with AWS (Athena, Glue, Redshift, S3 Tables), Google Cloud/BigLake, Azure, Microsoft OneLake, Databricks, Snowflake, Starburst, Trino, StarRocks, and any Iceberg REST Catalog. For engines it does not natively support, the Ryft Ingest API accepts query telemetry directly, and the Ryft MCP server enriches AI agents with live lakehouse context. Backed by Bessemer Venture Partners and Index Ventures; acquired by Cyera in 2026.

Ryft publishes 1 API contract indexed on the APIs.io network: Ingest API. Tagged areas include Company, Data, Data Lake, Lakehouse, and Apache Iceberg.

The Ryft catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Ryft’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, signup flow, authentication, and 21 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
