Delta Lake is an open format storage layer designed for both streaming and batch operations, providing reliability, security, and performance on data lakes. It allows for a unified architecture that combines batch and streaming capabilities, simplifies data engineering and ensures compliance with regulations like GDPR and CCPA. By using Delta Lake on Databricks, organizations gain access to high-performance analytics and data sharing while avoiding data lock-in.

What Is Delta Lake?
Delta Lake is an open format storage layer that delivers reliability,
security and performance on your data lake — for both streaming and
batch operations. It replaces data silos with a single home - for
structured, semi-structured and unstructured data.
Delta Lake is the foundation of a cost-effective, highly scalable
lakehouse.
Delivers a reliable single source of truth for all of your data, including
real-time streams, so your data teams are always working with the most
current data.
Support for ACID transactions and schema enforcement, Delta Lake
provides the reliability that traditional data lakes lack. This enables you to
scale reliable data insights throughout the organization and run analytics
and other data projects directly on your data lake — for up to 50x faster
time-to-insight.
Industry’s first open protocol for secure data sharing, making it simple to
share data with other organizations regardless of where the data lives.
Native integration with the Unity Catalog allows you to centrally manage
and audit shared data across organizations. This allows you to
confidently share data assets with suppliers and partners for better
coordination of your business while meeting security and compliance
needs.
Integrates with leading tools and platforms that allow you to visualize,
query, enrich, and govern shared data from your tools of choice.
With Apache Spark™ under the hood, Delta Lake delivers massive scale
and speed. And because it’s optimized with performance features like
indexing, Delta Lake customers have seen ETL workloads execute up to
48x faster.
All data in Delta Lake is stored in open Apache Parquet format, allowing
data to be read by any compatible reader. APIs are open and compatible
with Apache Spark. With Delta Lake on Databricks, you have access to a
vast open source ecosystem and avoid data lock-in from proprietary
formats.
Automated and Trusted Data-Engineering
Simplify data engineering with Delta Live Tables – an easy way to build
and manage data pipelines for fresh, high-quality data on Delta Lake. It
helps data engineering teams by simplifying ETL development and
management with declarative pipeline development, improved data
reliability and cloud-scale production operations to help build the
lakehouse foundation.

Let's get IT done .....
Business Intelligence (BI) on Data Make new, real-time data instantly available for querying by data
analysts for immediate insights on your business by running business intelligence workloads directly on
your data lake. Delta Lake allows you to operate a multicloud lakehouse architecture that provides data
warehousing performance at data lake economics for up to 6x better price/performance for SQL workloads
than traditional cloud data warehouses.
Unify Batch and Streaming Run both batch and streaming operations on one simplified architecture that
avoids complex, redundant systems and operational challenges. In Delta Lake, a table is both a batch
table and a streaming source and sink. Streaming data ingest, batch historic backfill and interactive
queries all work out of the box and directly integrate with Spark Structured Streaming.
Meet Regulatory Compliance Delta Lake removes the malformed data ingestion challenges, difficulty
deleting data for compliance, and issues modifying data for change data capture. With support for ACID
transactions on your data lake, Delta Lake ensures that every operation either fully succeeds or fully aborts
for later retries — without requiring new data pipelines to be created. Additionally, Delta Lake records all
past transactions on your data lake, so it’s easy to access and use previous versions of your data to meet
compliance standards like GDPR and CCPA reliably.
