This article announces that Amazon MSK Express brokers can now continuously materialize Apache Kafka topics as Apache Iceberg tables on Amazon S3 Tables.

  • Reduces ingestion costs by up to 60% versus self-managed deployments
  • Reduces downstream query costs by up to 30% compared to self-managed Kafka
  • Intelligent inline compaction eliminates small-file performance issues
  • Built-in coordination resolves concurrent writer conflicts across high-throughput consumers
  • Supports throughput up to 10 GB/s with no additional broker egress costs
  • Query data with Apache Spark, Trino, or Apache Flink
