Insightful benchmark of Linux Foundation Delta Lake and Apache Iceberg by @BrooklynData that shows Delta is up to 8x faster in workloads with data updates. Most storage benchmarks only test reads, but with updates, care is needed to maintain performance. brooklyndata.co/blog/benchma…

Databricks just set a new record on the official TPC-DS data warehousing benchmark, showing that a lakehouse system based on open data formats can outperform previous DW systems. Don't listen to folks who say open means bad performance! databricks.com/blog/2021/11/…

Why do you have to pick between diversity and merit? Make your work env. inclusive, decrease bias in hiring, as a leader don't make statements that alienate large groups. That'll give you a competitive advantage to a talent pool that won't join unwelcoming companies.

Delta Lake is now part of the Linux Foundation! EBs of data/month, in production 1000s of organizations. Can't wait to see how the community will shape its future and establish it as a standard for data lakes. databricks.com/blog/2019/10/…
