Run DuckDB analytics on your Amazon DynamoDB data with zero-ETL

AWS demonstrates a zero-ETL architecture for running ad hoc SQL analytics on DynamoDB data using DuckDB. A zero-ETL integration replicates DynamoDB tables into Apache Iceberg format on Amazon S3 Tables via change data capture, and an AWS Lambda function running DuckDB serves SQL queries through an IAM-authorized function URL, avoiding custom ETL pipelines. The walkthrough covers deployment via a CDK construct, sample data seeding, query performance (around 400ms warm, 3s cold start), security lockdown of the DuckDB engine, cost breakdown, and considerations like refresh interval freshness, response size limits, and Region availability.
