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

Ryft’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, signup flow, authentication, and 14 more developer resources.

Kin Score

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
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.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/ryft: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
