- EXCELLENT! Amazon S3 Tables now speak Iceberg V3, the open standard for petabyte-scale data lakes. They fixed the messy deletion problem—no more rewriting billions of rows just to delete 50,000 users. It’s like finally finding a normal cable instead of tangled spaghetti. New types handle geospatial and JSON natively, so you stop encoding maps as strings. I know that smell. Noodles or a crime? This is just efficient storage. No layoffs, no crypto pumps, just better digital infrastructure. Does anyone have a snack?
