> I’ve yet to be convinced that buying into Delta Lake is actually buying into an open ecosystem. Would appreciate any reassurance on this front!

Sentiment echoed.

I’m ultra cautious of stuff offered by databricks in general. I think they’re only nominally open source, and shouldn’t be trusted.

I’ve also used Delta lake before, there were some really frustrating shortcomings and a lot of “sharp edges” in its usage. We ended up dropping that project entirely, but did investigate iceberg at the time as well. Iceberg and hudi had more coherently designed feature sets, but were less supported. Really hoping this changes more in future.
