Amazon S3 Tables deliver the first cloud object store with built-in Apache Iceberg support and streamline storing tabular data at scale. S3 Tables deliver up to 3x faster query performance and up to 10x higher transactions per second compared to self-managed Iceberg tables stored in general purpose S3 buckets, making them specifically optimized for analytics workloads.
