New Amazon S3 Tables: Storage optimized for analytics workloads | Amazon Web Services Amazon S3 Tables optimize tabular data storage (like transactions and sensor readings) in Apache Iceberg, enabling high-performance, low-cost queries using Athena, EMR, and Spark.

What are the practical use cases that this is going to unlock? aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/ne...
Latency from S3 objects to S3 tables is in minutes, so obviously it cannot be a substitute for the metadata layers of ACID formats.

I just ran 80,000 simulations and my Rust code was still compiling in all of them!

So kinda like branches and tags of versioning in iceberg?
