Microsoft is using Delta for their Fabric Lakehouse architecture and its also what OneLake is built around so now you have another massive player choosing Delta.
- twoodfin 3y agoYes, another massive player who has the resources and independent market pull to ride and steer a complex and ever-shifting “standard”. Feels a bit like, “If Delta Lake did not exist, Microsoft would have to invent it.”
- FridgeSeal 3y agoThat’s…not exactly a winning point for Delta lake IMO. Massive corp, with their own opaque interests and endless bodies to throw at problems has picked a favourite. That favourite being an “open” format controlled by another opaque enterprise company. I’d half expect M$ to just take it wholesale, and start modifying it to suit their own ends, until eventually the “open source” component is some skin-deep façade that completely and utterly dependent on M$ infra.
