🔔 Google Cloud announced general availability of BigLake metastore support for the Iceberg REST Catalog, offering a serverless, standards-based runtime metastore that enables interoperability across Iceberg-compatible engines (Spark, Trino) and BigQuery. The service provides credential vending, integrated governance via Dataplex Universal Catalog for lineage and data quality, and a UX console for creating and managing Iceberg catalogs. By removing the need to run custom metastore deployments, BigLake metastore aims to reduce operational overhead while preserving enterprise scale and security.
