# Overview

Welcome to the AWS + Apache Iceberg Data Stack Template!

This template provides everything you need to build a modern data lakehouse on AWS using Apache Iceberg.

<div align="center"><img src="/files/g4E8xN1jn1bFQHKJMhHo" alt="Iceberg Stack Overview"></div>

The infrastructure is fully automated with Terraform and includes:

* An example ingestion pipeline: dlt + lambda
* A dbt project transformation Iceberg data with Athena
* AWS Step Functions to orchestrate ingestion + transformation
* A Github CI workflow

The template is designed to be fully modular and customizable.\
You can easily swap out any component with your preferred tools:

* Replace dlt with any other ingestion framework
* Use an alternative to dbt for transformations
* Switch to a different orchestration service instead of Step Functions
