Open-source alternatives to Dataform

lakeFS is a data lake versioning system that provides Git-like branching and commits for large datasets stored in object storage. It functions as a version control layer, enabling the creation of immutable snapshots, atomic commits, and zero-copy branching to create isolated environments for data experimentation without duplicating physical files. The system serves as an S3-compatible storage gateway and an Iceberg REST catalog, allowing standard cloud storage protocols and compatible clients to manage versioned tables. It acts as a data quality gatekeeper by using an event-driven hook system

Cadence is a distributed workflow orchestration engine designed to execute long-running, asynchronous business logic with built-in durability and resilience across distributed systems. It functions as a stateful process manager that ensures processes resume from their last known state following system crashes or network outages. The platform utilizes a distributed task queue to manage work across independent worker nodes and supports persistence via SQL or Cassandra backend storage. It includes a workflow visualization dashboard for inspecting execution histories and state traces, alongside a
