Run Apache Spark and Iceberg 4.5x faster than open source Spark with Amazon EMR
This post shows how Amazon EMR 7.12 can make your Apache Spark and Iceberg workloads up to 4.5x faster performance.
Run Apache Spark and Apache Iceberg write jobs 2x faster with Amazon EMR
In this post, we demonstrate the write performance benefits of using the Amazon EMR 7.12 runtime for Spark and Iceberg compares to open source Spark 3.5.6 with Iceberg 1.10.0 tables on a 3TB merge workload.
Amazon EMR 7.5 runtime for Apache Spark and Iceberg can run Spark workloads 3.6 times faster than Spark 3.5.3 and Iceberg 1.6.1
The Amazon EMR runtime for Apache Spark offers a high-performance runtime environment while maintaining 100% API compatibility with open source Apache Spark and Apache Iceberg table format. In this post, we demonstrate the performance benefits of using the Amazon EMR 7.5 runtime for Spark and Iceberg compared to open source Spark 3.5.3 with Iceberg 1.6.1 tables on the TPC-DS 3TB benchmark v2.13.
