Apache Iceberg vs. AWS Glue
| Product | Rating | Most Used By | Product Summary | Starting Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Apache Iceberg | Score7.8 out of 10 | N/A | Apache Iceberg is an open table format for huge analytic datasets. Iceberg adds tables to compute engines including Spark, Trino, PrestoDB, Flink, Hive and Impala using a high-performance table format that works just like a SQL table. Iceberg is used in production where a single table can contain tens of petabytes of data and even these huge tables can be read without a distributed SQL engine. It was designed to solve correctness problems in eventually-consistent cloud object stores. | $0 |
AWS Glue | Score7.5 out of 10 | N/A | AWS Glue is a managed extract, transform, and load (ETL) service designed to make it easy for customers to prepare and load data for analytics. With it, users can create and run an ETL job in the AWS Management Console. Users point AWS Glue to data stored on AWS, and AWS Glue discovers data and stores the associated metadata (e.g. table definition and schema) in the AWS Glue Data Catalog. Once cataloged, data is immediately searchable, queryable, and available for ETL. | $0.44 billed per second, 1 minute minimum |
