    Data lakes promised schema-on-read flexibility but became swamps. The industry responded by turning them into databases again, defeating the original purpose. We built Matterbeam differently: immutable storage with inferred intermediate schemas that translate rapidly into any structure you need. When materializations aren't right, replay them. The original vision, actually operationalized.
