Delta Lake is an open-source storage platform that allows ACID transactions to Apache Spark™, and other big data workloads. Data lakes often have multiple data pipelines that read and write data simultaneously. This makes it difficult for data engineers to ensure data integrity due to the absence of transactions. Your data lakes will benefit from ACID transactions with Delta Lake. It offers serializability, which is the highest level of isolation.

Delta Lake treats metadata the same as data and uses Spark's distributed processing power for all its metadata. Delta Lake is able to handle large tables with billions upon billions of files and partitions at a petabyte scale. Delta Lake allows developers to access snapshots of data, allowing them to revert to earlier versions for audits, rollbacks, or to reproduce experiments.
