Supabase's post argues that Postgres, OpenTelemetry, and Iceberg are emerging as open data standards for OLTP, telemetry, and OLAP respectively, each exhibiting open-source tenets of permissive licensing, self-hosting feasibility, and vendor neutrality. The post notes that these standards lower vendor lock-in and force companies to compete on experience, with S3 object storage becoming a common substrate.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://supabase.com/blog/open-data-standards-postgres-otel-iceberg:

> Around these three data use-cases, I've started to see three open data standards emerging that exhibit the same open source tenets: OLTP: Postgres, Telemetry: Open Telemetry, OLAP: Iceberg.
