Lakehouse Real-Time warehouse
A fourth SQL warehouse type aimed at low-latency serving, alongside serverless, pro and classic.
Why it is worth watching
Changes the answer to "which warehouse type" questions once it settles.
What Beta promises
Open to most customers but not for production: support runs through engineering, and the shape of it can still move. On by default on Premium, off on Enterprise.
| Who can use it | Most customers |
|---|---|
| Production use | No |
| Support | Engineering only |
| On by default | Premium yes, Enterprise no |
