Every AWS Glue and Lake Formation releaseAWS Glue Data Catalog now supports table optimization, statistics, and crawlers for Apache Iceberg V3
AWS Glue Data Catalog now supports table optimization, statistics, and crawlers for Apache Iceberg Version 3 (V3) tables. With these new capabilities, you can automatically maintain V3 tables, optimize them for query performance, and discover them in Amazon S3.

Today, AWS announces system-managed materialized views for Apache Iceberg. Materialized views let you precompute an expensive query once and reuse the result across engines.

Archived records are identified and reflected accurately through the isArchived field, so your analytical data stays fully in sync with your Salesforce source.
AWS Glue zero-ETL adds target table property ownership and conflict detection
AWS Glue zero-ETL integrations now detect table property conflicts and track integration ownership. When you configure a source table and target catalog, Glue associates the resulting table properties with the owning integration, so two integrations can no longer be pointed at the same target table without your knowledge.
