datalpia/laketower

Laketower is a stagnant project with negligible adoption (11 stars, 0 forks) and no activity for over a year. It attempts to address 'lakehouse oversight,' a category that has since been aggressively colonized by major platform providers and well-funded startups. Specifically, Databricks (Unity Catalog), Snowflake (Polaris), and AWS (Glue/Lake Formation) have integrated these management capabilities directly into their stacks. Open-source alternatives like DataHub, Amundsen, and Great Expectations offer significantly deeper feature sets and larger communities. The project lacks a unique technical angle or 'data gravity' to compete. Given the age and lack of velocity, it is categorized as a low-defensibility prototype that has already been displaced by market consolidation.
