Apache Iceberg comes to Arraylake. Tables now live alongside Icechunk arrays in the same catalog, under the same permissions, in your own buckets — queryable from DuckDB, Spark, Trino, Snowflake, and Zax-SQL.

We're introducing Zax, a new query and compute engine for multidimensional scientific data, and Zax-SQL, the first interface to it. Zax plans your computation for you, so you are no longer responsible for tuning chunk sizes, worker counts, and memory limits.
