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 13 more developer resources.
