for querying data lakes using Postgres, Crunchy Bridge for

CHARLESTON, S.C.,
July 9,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Crunchy Data — the leading
provider of trusted open source Postgres technology and products,
today announced the ability to query Apache Iceberg data directly
from Postgres, as well as other enhancements, in connection with
its latest release of Crunchy Bridge for Analytics.
Apache Iceberg is a high-performance file format used for
efficiently managing huge analytic tables. Iceberg has quickly
emerged as a standard for storing diverse datasets across a variety
of industries. With the latest release of Crunchy Bridge for
Analytics, users can easily set up foreign tables that read Iceberg
files to run fast analytical queries. Support for Apache Iceberg
builds on earlier support for Parquet, CSV, or JSON files in object
storage such as Amazon S3.
Initially released in April 2024,
Crunchy Bridge for Analytics , gives users the ability to retrieve
and interact with their data lake using PostgreSQL commands through
extensions and a vectorized, parallel query engine. This tool is
available today within Crunchy Bridge, Crunchy Data's fully managed
cloud Postgres service.
Other enhancements in this latest release of Crunchy Bridge for
Analytics include support for full SQL pushdown, which results in
richer support for complex analytical reporting requirements.
"Native querying of Iceberg files further extends the value of
Crunchy Bridge's growing analytics capabilities," said Craig Kerstiens, Crunchy Data Chief Product
Officer. "The ability to natively query data like Iceberg tables or
Parquet files where they live is an exciting advancement. Combined
with Crunchy Bridge's saved queries, built-in connection
pooling, VPC, container apps, and much more, makes Crunchy
Bridge the leading platform for developers to run production
Postgres."
Crunchy Bridge users can provision Crunchy Bridge for Analytics
clusters directly from their existing Crunchy Bridge accounts. To
