← This weekProduct launchData engineering & the warehouse/lakehouseAmazonAmazon Kinesis Data Streams now offers the ability to create streaming tables, which continuously deliver streaming data as queryable Apache Iceberg tables on Amazon S3. This new feature claims to reduce delivery costs by up to 25% and query costs by up to 30% through inline compaction, without requiring any infrastructure management.
MyDataWork POV — Managing large-scale data flows in a cloud-native environment presents challenges that make this development worthy of attention. The integration of Kinesis Data Streams with Apache Iceberg tables offers a streamlined approach to real-time analytics, reducing both delivery and query costs significantly. However, if your data operations are more static or don't rely on real-time processing, you can safely continue with your current setup without missing out on critical improvements.
