Quick start: Iceberg in 10 minutes (AWS)

Runnable quickstarts for using Iceberg with RisingWave on AWS: internal tables (built-in catalog and S3 Tables) and external tables (S3 Tables).

This quick start section contains runnable recipes that show how to use Apache Iceberg with RisingWave on AWS.

You can choose between:

• Internal Iceberg tables (RisingWave manages the table lifecycle; data is stored as Iceberg in an object store)
• External Iceberg tables (tables are managed outside RisingWave; RisingWave reads/writes through the Iceberg connector)

Pick a path

Internal Iceberg tables

• Internal Iceberg tables with built-in catalog
• Internal Iceberg tables with Amazon S3 Tables

External Iceberg tables

• External Iceberg tables with Amazon S3 Tables

Notes

• These quickstarts assume you already have AWS credentials (AK/SK) and AWS CLI configured.
• For the full parameter reference, see:
  • Object storage configuration
  • Catalog configuration
