Your Google BigQuery users need to query data that lives in Amazon S3 Tables on AWS without copying it across clouds. This post shows how to connect BigQuery to Amazon S3 Tables through the AWS Glue Iceberg REST Catalog using IAM-based access control, so you keep one governed dataset and query it live from BigQuery.

In Part 2 of this series, connect Google BigQuery to Amazon S3 Tables using AWS Lake Formation credential vending. Lake Formation manages fine-grained permissions and issues short-lived, scoped credentials to external engines, so you can centrally govern which teams and query engines read your Iceberg tables on AWS without managing IAM policies for every consumer.

Amazon Redshift system table integration with Amazon S3 Tables automatically delivers your system table logs to Amazon S3 Tables in Apache Iceberg format. You can retain this data well beyond the 7-day limit for compliance, auditing, and cross-warehouse observability, without custom ETL pipelines or cluster resource consumption.

Leading everyday app across the Middle East and North Africa, talabat, built a hybrid multi-cloud lakehouse that keeps a single Apache Iceberg copy of streaming data on Amazon S3 Tables while letting Google BigQuery query it in place, eliminating cross-cloud data duplication and schema-synchronization overhead.

Announcing delivery to streaming tables on Apache Iceberg for Amazon MSK Express brokers, a fully managed capability that continuously materializes your Kafka streaming data as queryable Iceberg tables on Amazon S3 Tables. No connectors, Flink jobs, or custom consumers to manage, and no code to write.

In Part 1 of this series, we showed how to simplify enterprise data access using the Amazon Redshift integration with Amazon S3 Access Grants. In this post, we extend that solution across AWS Regions. We introduce a fictional company, AnyCompany Global, to illustrate how organizations with global operations can use AWS IAM Identity Center Multi-Region to set up consistent, identity-based access to Amazon Redshift and Amazon S3 Tables across Regions.

In this post, you learn how tombola followed a strict engineering principle: no changes to production without evidence. That meant a head-to-head comparison of RA3 versus RG on their actual workload. You also see benchmark results on Amazon S3 Tables and the migration from RA3 to RG instances.

In this post, we show you how to build a CDC pipeline that delivers query-ready Iceberg tables directly. The pipeline captures inserts, updates, and deletes from Aurora PostgreSQL and applies them as row-level operations in Amazon S3 Tables, a capability of Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).

This is the third post in our S3 Tables and Amazon Redshift series. The first post covered getting started with querying Apache Iceberg tables, and the second post walked through enterprise-scale governance and access controls. In this post, you address those performance and usability gaps with three different approaches.

In this post, we walk through how to set up and manage S3 Tables in the AWS Glue Data Catalog, create and query Iceberg materialized views, and configure access controls that work across your analytics stack with IAM-based authorization.
