Amazon S3 Tables now support all data types in the Apache Iceberg V3 spec, along with column default values, deletion vectors, and row lineage. Upgrade existing V2 tables or create new V3 tables with built-in compaction, maintenance, and engine compatibility.

Amazon S3 Vectors now supports metadata pre filtering, delivering up to 5x higher recall on filtered searches. Filters evaluate before similarity search so scoped queries return more relevant results. Ideal for RAG, agentic apps, and document search.

Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL now lets you directly query Apache Iceberg and Parquet data stored in your data lake alongside live operational data—no ETL pipelines required. Powered by DuckDB embedded within Aurora, this capability enables single queries that join transactional and historical data using familiar PostgreSQL syntax. It supports AWS Glue Data Catalog, S3, and S3 Tables, with optimizations like predicate pushdown and caching for efficient performance.
