Simplify your ETL with Databricks Delta Lake
summary
Explains how Databricks Delta Lake adds an ACID transaction log (JSON commits, min/max stats) so datasets gain time travel, schema enforcement/evolution and upserts via merge into. Demonstrates compaction and ordering reducing 300 small files to 12, cutting a flight-number query from ~20s to ~3s, and shows delta caching plus Spark cache halving repeated query time to ~2s. Covers vacuum to remove old files and notes some optimizations like optimize and ordering require Databricks premium runtime.
