Learn how to use RisingWave to create and manage Iceberg tables natively, with RisingWave as the primary owner of the table lifecycle.
RisingWave Managed Iceberg refers to scenarios where RisingWave is the primary owner and manager of Iceberg tables. In this approach, you create tables directly within RisingWave that store their data in the Apache Iceberg format on object storage, while RisingWave handles the table lifecycle, schema management, and write operations.
Consider external catalogs: If you need integration with existing infrastructure, see configuration options.
Comparing approaches: If you already have Iceberg tables managed by other systems and want to read from or write to them, see Bring Your Own Iceberg instead.
