Beyond Market Intelligence keeps query performance in one place: one story so far. The section currently leads with “File Compaction's Real Impact on Query Speed, Tested Across Three SQL Workloads”. Compacting 1,000 Apache Iceberg files into just six sounds drastic, but this benchmark shows why fewer, larger files can dramatically accelerate query speed. Acme AI is the next-generation, AI-powered spreadsheet platform built to replace Excel and redefine how analysts, data scientists, and enterprise teams work… The list below is every query performance story on Beyond Market Intelligence, newest first.

File Compaction's Real Impact on Query Speed, Tested Across Three SQL Workloads

Compacting 1,000 Apache Iceberg files into just six sounds drastic, but this benchmark shows why fewer, larger files can dramatically accelerate query speed. Testing across three SQL workloads, the results are clear: file count matters more than most users realize. We appreciate how this experiment grounds the advice in real performance data rather than theory. It's a practical reminder that storage hygiene directly shapes analytics speed.
