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…

.@DeltaLakeOSS just got even better. Meet #DeltaLake 2.0, now *entirely* open source. @michaelarmbrust shares how the latest features improve performance & manageability. #DataAISummit

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/…
As the #lakehouse gains momentum, we've been getting a lot of questions about what it means and how it compares to other architectures. Here are some answers to these and other common questions! databricks.com/blog/2021/08/…

Replying to @technology @emilychangtv
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.
Unlock your data and securely query it anywhere with #deltasharing on @DeltaLakeOSS!
Happy to announce #deltasharing - an open standard for secure data sharing delta.io/sharing/

Really excited to announce Delta Live Tables, a system that turns your SQL queries and pyspark DataFrame code into production-ready ETL pipelines! We've been working on this for almost 3 years, and it powers some of our largest pipelines internally. youtube.com/watch?v=fJhlTsh3…

Did you know you can now use Delta Lake straight from #Python?
Just a quick: pip install deltalake pandas

Excited that our #Lakehouse paper got published at #CIDR21: it shares our vision of the Lakehouse: a new type of data platforms that are completely open, have full support for #machinelearning, while supporting all traditional #datawarehouse workloads.

I gave a keynote at @ACMSoCC about lessons from building a large-scale cloud service at @Databricks. Did you know that Databricks runs millions of VMs/day to process exabytes of data with <200 engineers? Slides here: slideshare.net/matei/lessons…

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.
