Delta Lake
Delta Lake is an opensource storage framework, that enables building table format agnostic Lakehouse architecture utilizing the big data distributed engines like Spark, Hive, Trino, Google BigQuery, Redshift and others.
Before diving into the features that Delta Lake offers, let us first understand the challenges with the modern day cloud data lakes like Amazon S3, Azure Blog storage.

ReplyDeleteGreat post — you’ve clearly outlined the limitations of existing data lakes and shown how Delta Lake addresses them. A few thoughts:
ReplyDeleteI appreciate how you emphasize consistency, ACID transactions, and schema enforcement — these are often glossed over but are critical in real-world Big Data pipelines.
It might be useful to include a comparison chart of existing lakes vs Delta Lake on performance, cost, and maintenance overhead.
Also, worth discussing real customer case studies: what challenges they faced before migrating and what benefits they realized after.
If anyone reading this needs help designing or implementing a robust lakehouse architecture — feel free to hire a Big Data expert to ensure the approach scales, is secure, and fits your organization’s needs.
