Decision brief

lakeFS provides Git-like functionality for managing versions of data in a data lake, compatible with storage solutions like S3 and Azure.

Good fit when

When you need version control for large-scale datasets stored in a data lake, similar to how codebases are managed with Git.
For teams using AWS S3 or Azure Blob Storage as their primary data repository who require robust version management.

Avoid when

If your use case involves managing small files or datasets that do not benefit from a Git-like history for data changes due to overhead.
For situations where compliance requirements preclude open-source solutions or those under the Apache 2.0 license, as lakeFS may not meet these specific needs.
