Today we are releasing iceberg-js, a minimal, vendor-agnostic JavaScript client for the Apache Iceberg REST Catalog API.
Apache Iceberg is becoming the standard for large-scale analytics workloads. But until now, JavaScript and TypeScript developers have lacked a simple way to interact with Iceberg REST Catalogs.
We recently launched Analytics Buckets in the Supabase Dashboard. This feature lets you create and manage Iceberg tables directly from the Supabase UI. To power this experience, we needed a JavaScript library that could talk to Iceberg REST Catalogs.
We looked around and did not find what we needed. Most Iceberg tooling is built for JVM languages like Java and Scala. The JavaScript ecosystem had nothing lightweight and focused. So we built iceberg-js.
We care about supporting open-source tools and communities, and creating developer-friendly libraries is one of the ways we contribute.
