Cloudflare launches Basin, a serverless analytics platform built on Apache Iceberg

Cloudflare has unveiled Cloudflare Basin, a serverless data platform built on the open-source Apache Iceberg table format and its egress-free R2 object storage.

• Built on Apache Iceberg and Cloudflare R2 with no egress fees
• Apache Spark and DuckDB can query data in place without copying
• Pricing is based on the volume of data analyzed
• Basin competes with Snowflake and Databricks in analytics
