In this PR https://github.com/timeplus-io/proton/pull/928, we are open-sourcing a C++ implementation of Iceberg integration. It's an MVP, focusing on REST catalog and S3 read/write(S3 table support coming soon). You can use Timeplus to continuously read data from MSK and stream writes to S3 in the Iceberg format. No JVM. No Python. Just a low-overhead, high-throughput C++ engine. Docker/K8s are optional. Demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2m6ehwmzOnc

Help us improve the code to add more integrations and features. Happy to contribute this to the Iceberg community. Or just roast the code. We’ll buy the virtual coffee.
