Spotlight on Data Platform Teams:
Big Data Warehouse and Iceberg
The Big Data Warehouse and Iceberg team is responsible for Netflix's exabyte-scale data warehouse, building and operationalizing foundational services to manage the lifecycle of core tables critical for all analytical, reporting, and data decision needs. These services enable query engines to discover tables/datasets, provide secure access to data, and efficiently store data in S3 using Iceberg table format. Additionally, the team works on efficiencies of compute, storage, and network costs, and optimality of data storage, and ensures that the data meets Netflix's standards and compliance requirements. The team is also committed to developing new features and enhancements to the Iceberg table format (which began in Netflix and is now an industry standard) and contributing to the open source.
