Amazon MSK Express Now Streams Kafka Data Directly to Apache Iceberg

Amazon MSK Express brokers can now continuously deliver Apache Kafka topics as Apache Iceberg tables on Amazon S3 Tables, cutting ingestion costs by up to 60% and query costs by 30%. The feature handles inline compaction and concurrent writes automatically, supporting throughput up to 10 GB/s without extra broker costs. You can enable it in the MSK console with just a few clicks and query results using Spark, Trino, or Flink.
