Tabular
Jason Reid, head of product at Tabular discusses how Tabular makes it easy to implement best practices when using Apache Iceberg:
Tabular catalog
Ingestion services - files, CDC and streaming
Connecting compute
Maintenance services
Intelligent optimization
RBAC security
Governance features
The Iceberg table format brings data warehouse characteristics to cloud object storage – including consistent SQL behavior, hidden partitioning and schema evolution. However, as with any new technology, there are new techniques you’ll need to master in order to succeed.
In this webinar Dan Weeks, Tabular CTO and Apache Iceberg PMC member, will cover the most important practices you need to develop to ensure your Iceberg deployment exceeds your expectations for performance, cost, security and simple operation.
After a short explanation of how Apache Iceberg works, the problems it solves and the levers and controls it provides, Dan will cover best practices across several areas including:
Selecting a Catalog
Ingesting Data
Connecting Compute
Maintaining Tables
Optimizing Performance
Enforcing Security
Data Privacy and Compliance
See how to connect Snowflake to Tabular and allow Snowflake users to read Iceberg tables.
In this on-demand workshop, Tabular’s Ryan Blue and Starburst’s Monica Miller will guide you through a tutorial that covers the fundamentals of how Starburst Galaxy and Tabular work together. This 1 hour session covers an introduction to Starburst and Tabular and the hands-on tutorial.
The tutorial covers:
Connecting to Tabular
Building your lakehouse
Creating data products
Running interactive analytics
Mirroring tables from databases such as Postgres, MySQL or Oracle into a data lake makes transaction data broadly available for analytics while maintaining isolation for transactional databases.
Jason Reid, Head of Product, Tabular
Cliff Gilmore, Principal Solutions Architect, Tabular
- Why CDC is technically challenging, including the need to create workload isolation, ensure strong consistency, and handle schema evolution
- Iceberg techniques to address common CDC challenges include using append-only change logs, continuous processing, MERGE patterns, and delta files to avoid write amplification
- A live CDC to Iceberg demo combining Debezium, the Kafka Connect Iceberg sink, and Tabular’s serverless CDC merge capabilities
In this webinar we will cover the ins and outs of the migration process with Iceberg as the target, and we will demonstrate open source tooling that will help smooth the transition. Jason Reid, Head of Product at Tabular who led the original migration from Hive to Iceberg at Netflix, will cover:
- Why migrate? the advantage of leaving Hive for a modern format
- Common migration challenges and considerations
- A sample migration project plan that helps ensure you follow best practices
As a “demo” bonus, Jason Reid, Tabular co-founder and head of product, will walk-through three useful open source tools that can streamline the migration effort.
Covers SparkSessionCatalog, IcebergSparkSessionExtensions, spark_catalog.system.snapshot, spark_catalog.system.migrate, spark_catalog.system.add_files, tabular.system.register_table
A walk though the steps required to connect Google BigQuery to the Tabular storage engine, allowing it to query Apache Iceberg tables.
See a demonstration of connecting Amazon S3 storage to Tabular to create Apache Iceberg tables for querying by Amazon Athena, Spark (EMR), Snowflake, Trino and other query engines.
This walk through will show you how to connect a Google Cloud Storage bucket to your Tabular instance to create Iceberg tables that can be queried by Googe BigQuery, Snowflake, Trino and other query engines.

Subject: File Loader
Use the Tabular UI to quickly set up an AWS S3 location as a data load source for your Tabular-managed Iceberg tables. Files can be dropped there ad-hoc or delivered by your application, even Kafka streams. Supported file types are JSON, CSV, TSV, and Parquet. Once loaded, Tabular will start automatically optimizing your Iceberg tables to improve performance and lower storage costs.
