A FIRST LOOK AT S3 (ICEBERG) TABLES

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

AWS' S3 Tables brings native support for Apache Iceberg to S3. This post takes a look at the new offering, which is an exciting development for the data analytics ecosystem. S3 has now launched three major features in 12 months, suggesting that something material has shifted in S3's development culture. The fact that AWS chose to call the new feature 'S3 Tables' and not 'S3 Iceberg' could mean that the company is open to supporting other table formats in the future.
