AWS S3 Tables : After the 10x Priceberg Plunge
Blog post from Onehouse
A recent analysis of AWS S3 Tables Iceberg compaction revealed a significant 20-30x cost disparity compared to other solutions, prompting AWS to reduce their prices by 10x. Despite this reduction, S3 Tables remains more expensive and demonstrates poor performance, particularly in compaction efficiency, which is crucial for managing the "small files problem" in large-scale data operations. The analysis highlights S3 Tables' limited control over compaction frequency and lack of observability tools, making it less suitable for real-time workloads. In contrast, Onehouse Table Optimizer offers a more cost-effective and efficient alternative, providing granular control over compaction settings and better performance, making it a compelling choice for users seeking a robust managed solution for Apache Iceberg tables.
