Charleston, SC – July 9, 2024 – Crunchy Data, the industry leader in open-source PostgreSQL solutions, today announced a major breakthrough for data analysts and engineers. The latest release of Crunchy Bridge for Analytics introduces native support for querying Apache Iceberg tables directly from PostgreSQL, simplifying data lake exploration and analysis.
Unlocking the Potential of Apache Iceberg
Apache Iceberg has rapidly emerged as the go-to file format for large-scale data lakes due to its optimized performance and scalability. Crunchy Bridge for Analytics empowers users to effortlessly create foreign tables that reference Iceberg data stored in object storage systems like Amazon S3. This means analysts can now leverage the full power of PostgreSQL’s SQL capabilities to query and analyze their massive datasets without complex data transformations.
Seamless Integration with PostgreSQL
Crunchy Bridge for Analytics, initially released in April 2024, revolutionizes how organizations interact with their data lakes. By extending PostgreSQL’s capabilities with a specialized query engine, it enables users to access and manipulate data lake contents using familiar SQL commands.
Enhanced Analytics Performance and Functionality
The latest release of Crunchy Bridge for Analytics goes beyond Iceberg support, introducing full SQL pushdown functionality. This advancement significantly improves performance and flexibility for complex analytical queries, allowing data analysts to unlock deeper insights from their data.
