   Thanks for starting this @kbendick! Super useful! you can find a short description of what we do in this comment: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/2674#issuecomment-854568624 
   
   Our goal w/ our demos was to have zero extra set-up. So a notebook is hosted on google colab and it locally starts spark and needed infra. Admittedly its not distributed and it wouldn't be easy to get Hive started in that way. @snazy also [added testing](https://github.com/projectnessie/nessie-demos/tree/main/notebook-tests) to our demo notebooks which has turned into a great pre-release smoke test
   
   Ive seen some pretty involved docker and docker-compose demos that are cool but require a dozen docker images to be started locally. My request is that a new user don't have to start up half the world just to see how iceberg works, however maybe I am unique in that I find those types of demos frustrating. Maybe there is room for both too: quick, short, focused demos and a bigger integrated one to get a feel for waht its like to run in prod
