Aurora PostgreSQL Can Now Query Iceberg and Parquet Data Directly

Aurora PostgreSQL now lets you query Apache Iceberg and Parquet files stored in S3 or AWS Glue Data Catalog without ETL pipelines or data duplication—your existing PostgreSQL apps and BI tools work unchanged. The feature uses DuckDB's query engine under the hood and is available in all AWS regions (including GovCloud) on PostgreSQL 17.11, 18.6 and higher at no extra cost.
