Databricks and the Linux Foundation developed Delta Sharing to provide the first open source approach to data sharing across data, analytics and AI. Customers can share live data across platforms, clouds and regions with strong security and governance.
Key benefits
Open cross-platform sharing
Avoid vendor lock-in, and easily share existing data in Delta Lake and Apache Parquet formats to any data platform.
Share live data with no replication
Share across data platforms, clouds or regions without copying, and share using Cloudflare R2 to lower costs with zero egress fees.
Centralized governance
Centrally manage, govern, audit and track usage of the shared data on one platform.
Marketplace for data products
Build and package data products — including datasets, AI models and notebooks — once and distribute them anywhere through an open marketplace.
Privacy-safe data clean rooms
Easily collaborate with your customers and partners on any cloud via a secure hosted environment while safeguarding data privacy.
How it works
Native integration with the Databricks Platform
Delta Sharing has native integration with Unity Catalog, which allows you to centrally manage and audit shared data across organizations. This lets you confidently share data assets with suppliers and partners for better coordination of your business while meeting security and compliance needs.
