RunningLake, the lakehouse that shows its work

An operated open lakehouse stack for small data teams, running in a customer’s own cloud account and priced in real cloud dollars.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-09 issue.

Field notes

The proposed service keeps the data plane in the customer’s cloud account and exposes cost attribution by workload rather than converting usage into an opaque credit balance. Its illustrative 31-day invoice combines DuckDB, Trino, and StarRocks activity, shows measured versus allocated compute, and adds storage at cost plus a 25% management fee. The company marks its build status directly: the control plane and router are presented as built, while engine services and several agents remain in progress.
