About Us | Onehouse

Open Data Infrastructure that runs anywhere

Onehouse is a fast, open data lakehouse that runs in your own cloud account. It runs everything from ingestion and ETL to interactive queries on your own Kubernetes, across Apache Hudi™, Apache Iceberg™ and Delta Lake, with data that never leaves your account. Workloads run on Quanton, the fastest lakehouse engine in the industry. Before Onehouse, our team ran planet-scale data infrastructure at LinkedIn and Uber, and built the first data lakehouse at Uber. We created Apache Hudi and Apache XTable.

Our Leadership

Put a face to the name

Vinoth Chandar

CEO & Founder

Vinoth Chandar is the original creator and PMC chair of Apache Hudi™, a seasoned distributed systems and database engineer, and a dedicated entrepreneur. At Uber he created Hudi, which pioneered transactional data lakes and the open table formats that followed, to meet the speed and scale needs of Uber’s data platform. He brings deep experience with databases, distributed systems and planet-scale data systems from Oracle, LinkedIn, Uber and Confluent. Open table formats have come a long way, but most data organizations still lack scalable, cost-efficient, standardized data infrastructure. Your data infrastructure should scale without an army of highly skilled engineers to operate it, and your data should be owned by you, in open formats any engine can read. That is why Vinoth founded Onehouse, the fast, open data lakehouse built for humans and AI.
