Qbeast

Empower open data ecosystems to scale efficiently—without complexity or lock-in. Qbeast exists to make open lakehouse platforms faster, more efficient, and easier to use. As data grows, open formats like Delta Lake and Iceberg often face performance and cost challenges—especially across diverse query engines. We solve this with multi-dimensional indexing and smart data layout, boosting performance and reducing compute across engines like Spark, Trino, DuckDB and more. Qbeast was born at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, and now operates from Barcelona, Bellevue, WA & Bangalore, India where research meets real-world impact.
