From CDC to Stream Analytics: Real-Time Data Patterns for Apache Iceberg and AI
Apache Iceberg with Amazon S3 tables is the best foundation for landing real-time streaming and CDC data into a lakehouse.
“How do you get real-time streaming data into your data lakehouse and efficiently? The answer, increasingly, is Apache Iceberg.”
An AWS re:Invent data-streaming session covers real-time write patterns (append-only logs vs. CDC) for landing streaming data into Apache Iceberg tables on Amazon S3, including a demo CDC pipeline using Debezium, Kafka, and Flink. It is a useful engineering deep-dive on data architecture but contains little direct AI industry signal beyond positioning Iceberg as a foundation for AI workloads.
