Governance

Delta Lake is an independent open-source project and not controlled by any single company. To emphasize this we joined the Delta Lake Project in 2019, which is a sub-project of the Linux Foundation Projects. Within the project, we make decisions based on these rules.

Delta Lake is supported by a wide set of developers from over 70 organizations across multiple repositories. Since 2019, more than 190 developers have contributed to Delta Lake! The Delta Lake community is growing by leaps and bounds with more than 6200 members in the Delta Users slack.

Integrating a Data Warehouse and a Data Lake

FLORIAN VALEYE

STAFF DATA ENGINEER BACK MARKET

This conversation from the Open Source Summit in Spain provides valuable insights into the significance of Delta Lake, the role of Rust in data engineering, and the collaborative nature of open source communities.

The Delta Lake open source project integrates data lakes and data warehouses, a needed combination in this new age of scale-out data requiring reliability and controls.

A data lakehouse integrates the advanced data analytics and low-cost storage of a data lake with the performance and reliability of a data warehouse, said Florian Valeye, a data engineer with Back Market, in this episode of The New Stack Makers, recorded at the Open Source Summit in Bilbao, Spain, earlier this fall.
