Cloudflare folds Iceberg ingest, catalog and SQL on R2 into one GA product called Basin

Cloudflare made its Data Platform generally available as Basin, three serverless services that ingest, catalog and query Apache Iceberg tables on R2. Outside Iceberg engines read the same tables, so Workers teams can price Basin SQL against a warehouse on identical data.

Iceberg's REST catalog gains a nine-action vocabulary for handing enforcement to trusted engines

Apache Iceberg's REST Catalog spec now lets a catalog return per-user row filters and nine column actions for a trusted engine to enforce, Databricks says. Policies that need subqueries or lookup tables do not fit that vocabulary, so the portability covers simple rules running on engines a deployment already trusts.
