In this webinar, Yingjun Wu (RisingWave), Lester Martin (Starburst), and Cole Bowden (Firebolt) will break down the nuts and bolts of Iceberg-based architectures, covering everything from catalog management (Unity Catalog, Polaris, Glue, etc) and compaction to ingestion strategies (Apache Spark, Apache Flink, RisingWave, etc.) and query engine selection (Trino, Starburst, Firebolt, etc.). They'll expose common cost pitfalls that can quickly drive up expenses and, more importantly, share practical strategies to optimize performance and keep costs in check, whether you're using open-source tools or vendor solutions. If you're working with Iceberg, this is your chance to learn how to maximize efficiency without overspending.
