lakeFS
TreeverselakeFS turns an object store into a Git-like repository, giving a data lake branches, commits and atomic merges without copying the underlying objects. It exposes an S3-compatible API over AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage and Google Cloud Storage, so Spark, Hive and similar frameworks read and write versioned data unchanged. Treeverse develops it.

Adoption
2 low confidence5,490 GitHub stars, which lands in the 1K-10K stars band of the stars scale, level 2. The `lakefs` package on PyPI is the Python SDK wrapper for the server's API rather than the server, so its downloads measure client use. No deployment figure is published, leaving the stars scale and its cap of 3.
