Apache Iceberg Deep Dive Workshop

Apache Iceberg gets powerful when you understand the table lifecycle. The value comes from seeing how snapshots, rollback, compaction, and governance fit into the full table lifecycle. "Apache Iceberg Deep Dive Workshop" turns that scenario into a workshop where Lester Martin walks through hands-on work with snapshots, rollback, compaction, and governance basics.

About This Workshop

Get hands-on with Apache Iceberg in this introductory workshop. We’ll cover the full table lifecycle, from creating your first Iceberg table to managing snapshots, performing rollbacks, and running compactions to improve performance.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:

- Create and manipulate Iceberg tables with familiar SQL

- Use snapshots and time travel to audit changes and reproduce results

- Perform rollbacks to recover quickly from bad writes or deployments

- Run compaction and maintenance to improve performance and reduce small files

- Understand the table lifecycle, schema/partition evolution, metadata, and governance touchpoints
