This lightning talk is an introduction to Delta Sharing; A Linux Foundation open source solution for sharing massive amounts of data in a cheap, secure, scalable and *streaming* way.

Homegrown data-sharing solutions based on SFTP or APIs aren’t scalable and saddle you with operational overhead. Off-the-shelf data-sharing solutions only work on specific sharing networks, promoting vendor lock-in and can be costly. Others don't support streaming data.

Delta Sharing reliably accesses data at the bandwidth of modern cloud object stores, such as S3, ADLS, or GCS.

Any client supporting pandas, Apache Spark™, or Python, as well as commercial clients such as Power BI can connect to the sharing server. Clients always read the latest version of the data which can also be partitioned to limit the amount of data transferred.
