Deliver real-time data to streaming tables for Apache Iceberg with Amazon Kinesis Data Streams
Amazon Kinesis Data Streams now supports streaming tables, a fully managed capability that continuously delivers your streaming data as queryable Apache Iceberg tables on Amazon S3 Tables. Streaming tables reduce data delivery costs to S3 Tables by up to 50% compared to self-managed alternatives and reduce downstream query costs by up to 30% through intelligent inline compaction that eliminates the small file problem. You need no custom applications, no self-managed compute, and no operational overhead.
