The iceberg reader sounds cool but how does it handle auth? Most iceberg tables are not publicly accessible.

It does support using S3 presigned requests, but it's admittedly a little awkward to ask a server for a presigned request before every fetch. But does still have the benefit that you can have a small and light server just handing out signed requests, and then the user and their browser does the heavy lifting. This can save a lot on scaling out server costs.

That being said, I wish there was a better auth story. Open to suggestions if anyone has ideas!
