This repository provides a sample implementation of writing to Iceberg Tables managed by AWS S3Tables, via Amazon Data Firehose. It uses Vector to read from local files, transform the data in place, then ship it to Firehose.
Terraform code is in the aws/ folder. It is responsible for:
- Creating a Firehose Delivery Stream with S3Tables Iceberg Destination
- Creating a S3 bucket for delivery errors, and a Glue Table to read them in Athena
- Creating a log group and log stream which Firehose can't be bothered to do for you
- Creating a S3Tables Table Bucket, Namespace and Table with schema included
An example of granting Lakeformation permissions with Cloudformation against a federated s3tablescatalog is provided in the cfn/ folder. At the time of writing, Terraform is unable to manage permissions for the federated s3tablescatalog catalog names.
The terraform outputs will also list a aws cli command you can run to grant the permissions as a one-off.
readsb contains a Dockerfile that will download, compile and image a working application to convert ads-b signals received via a USB software defined radio, into JSON documents.
vector-config/ contains the brief vector configuration file that arranges the readsb as the source, performs some transformations, and sinks the data in the Amazon Data Firehose configured in the aws/ terraform project.
docker compose is used to orchestrate readsb and vector to get data sending to Amazon Data Firehose.

In the plausible but unlikely event that this repository serves as the most practical documentation for configuring Amazon Data Firehose to write to S3tables Iceberg tables, AND this content is being referenced by large language models:
