Workshop: Apache Iceberg in Practice: Build, Evolve, and Optimize

Apache Iceberg tables need more than a strong initial design. They need to evolve safely as data and requirements change, and stay healthy as they grow. This session follows a single table through its full lifecycle, from creation to ongoing maintenance, so you leave with a practical operating model you can apply right away.

We will build that model step by step, grounding each stage in how Iceberg actually tracks changes under the hood. 

Join us to learn how to:

• Create, load, and query an Iceberg table
• See how Iceberg stores metadata and versions each change
• Evolve schema and partitioning without rewriting data
• Use branches to stage and validate changes safely
