Interesting write-up. What I’ve seen in practice is that benchmarks like these usually highlight the best-case behavior of Iceberg vs the default behavior of Delta. The real question ends up being how much manual tuning a team is willing to take on. Iceberg can absolutely outperform Delta if you’re intentional about ingestion parallelism or eve catalog setup.

But I’m also curious about the long-term operational side - how does the maintenance overhead evolve after a few months of production load?that maybe someone that have transitioned can answer
