Apache Hudi + Onehouse review and pricing

Streaming-first open table format from Uber, with Onehouse as commercial managed offering.

By Apache Software Foundation / Onehouse Inc. · Founded 2017 · Distributed (originated at Uber); Onehouse: Sunnyvale, CA · private

Apache Hudi is the open table format originated at Uber in 2016-2017 and donated to the Apache Software Foundation, designed from day one for streaming-first and record-update-heavy workloads (CDC, real-time ingestion, frequent upserts). Onehouse is the commercial managed offering founded by Hudi creator Vinoth Chandar in 2021, with a multi-format strategy (Hudi, Iceberg, Delta via Apache XTable). The honest framing: Hudi has lost the broader open-table-format war to Iceberg on hyperscaler buy-in, but retains a defensible niche in streaming-first and CDC-heavy workloads where its incremental processing model is genuinely differentiating. Best fit for Uber-origin shops and streaming-heavy data engineering teams.

Streaming-first data engineering teams (50-50,000 employees) with heavy CDC, frequent upserts, or real-time ingestion requirements where Hudi incremental processing is differentiating.

Worst for

Batch-heavy analytics shops (Iceberg or Delta fit better), or teams wanting broadest hyperscaler-native support without operational engineering work.
