Why don't Kafka and Iceberg get along?

Jul 24, 2025 By Filip Yonov In Aiven
Kafka and Iceberg is a costly marriage of inconvenience. If you write code for a living you’ve probably heard of Apache Iceberg - but you might not realise the detour your Kafka events must take to get there. Typically a Kafka message written to an Iceberg table must take a journey via a connector, rack up transfer fees, and idle in a sidecar before it appears as an Iceberg table—hardly the friction‑free flow open table formats promise.

Friends Don't Let Friends Deploy Kafka the Old Way

Jul 15, 2025 By Josep Prat In Aiven
In the cloud, Kafka’s promise of “never lose a byte” quietly morphs into “always pay for two.” Every time the leader syncs followers across zones, you get hit with premium egress charges that can dwarf compute costs. Diskless Kafka turns that upside-down: brokers replicate data straight into S3, so the pricey cross-zone hops vanish. Yes, object storage is slower than a local SSD, but the swap buys you on-demand elasticity and a bill that finally makes sense.
