My experience with delta was that the catalog, being stored in s3 itself, was unacceptably slow, and for our data volume, Airflow was prohibitively expensive. We spent a lot of engineering time working around both problems. Which is funny because the consultants who advised us to do this told us it was the best possible solution; tailor made for our application, foolproof in every way. After that we proceeded to pay for their “data” “science” “services,” which went about as well as my scare quotes would suggest.
