Feel like AWS got a lot of the concepts right with S3 Tables* ("serverless" Iceberg catalog on top of S3) ... would love, love to see a version of S3 Tables that lets you choose between Ducklake or Iceberg as the catalog.

* Cloudflare also seems to have gotten the same idea right with R2 Data Catalog

Athena already has Trino and Spark engines, it could totally have DuckDB one too.

This would be my bet and hope as well.
