• Spark: An example that uses an in-memory metastore, automatically bootstrapped, with Apache Spark and a Jupyter notebook.

• Trino: An example that uses Trino with Polaris.

• Telemetry: An example that includes Prometheus and Jaeger to collect metrics and traces from Apache Polaris. This example automatically creates a polaris_demo catalog.

• Eclipselink: An example that uses an Eclipselink metastore and a Postgres database. The realm is bootstrapped with the Polaris Admin tool.
