Icebreaker

Arrow-native data movement. The vessel that opens the lane.

MD-UTIL leg

Open transport

Costs far less than the incumbent enterprise data mover. The anti-lock-in statement of the fleet.

Why the name works

  1. 1.

    Literally breaks the Iceberg format out of proprietary catalogs.

  2. 2.

    Breaks through vendor lock-in — ADBC is the neutral, Arrow-native path through walled gardens. No proprietary drivers, no per-connector tax.

  3. 3.

    The ship class itself: opens routes other ships can’t take. One capable vessel opens the lane, everything cheaper follows behind.

In the chain of command

Icebreaker handles boundary-crossing transport (ADBC, Iceberg interchange) — the last leg after Reef, Marl, and Bosun.
