## Why Rustberg?

Rustberg takes a different approach to Iceberg catalogs:

```bash
# That's it. One binary, no dependencies.
./rustberg --storage s3://my-bucket/catalog
```

No JVM warmup. No connection pool configuration. No external database. Just download and run.

## Key Features

| Feature | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| 🚀 **Instant Startup** | Sub-10ms cold start. No JVM warmup, no connection pooling delays. |
| 📦 **Single Binary** | One small executable. Deploy anywhere: Kubernetes, Lambda, bare metal, edge. |
| 📚 **Library Support** | Use as a crate to build custom Lambda handlers or embed in your application. |
| 🔐 **Security First** | API Keys (Argon2id), JWT/OIDC, Cedar authorization, TLS 1.3, rate limiting. |
| ☁️ **Cloud Native** | S3, GCS, Azure Blob storage. Horizontal scaling with SlateDB. |
| 🔌 **Full REST API** | Complete Iceberg REST spec: tables, views, transactions, credentials, metrics. |
| 🛡️ **Multi-Tenant** | Hard tenant isolation, Cedar policies, audit logging, credential vending. |
