Why we migrated to a Data Lakehouse on Delta Lake for T-Mobile Data Science and Analytics Team
By Robert Thompson , Geoff Freeman
In this post, we will discuss the how and why we migrated from databases and data lakes to a data lakehouse on Delta Lake. Our lakehouse architecture allows reading and writing of data without blocking and scales out linearly. Business partners can easily adopt advanced analytics and derive new insights. These new insights promote innovation across disparate workstreams and solidify the decentralized approach to analytics taken by T-Mobile.

By Tathagata Das , Denny Lee
We are happy to announce the release of the Delta Lake 2.0 on Apache Spark™ 3.2! The significance of Delta Lake 2.0 is not just a number - though it is timed quite nicely with Delta Lake’s 3rd birthday. It reiterates our collective commitment to the open-sourcing of Delta Lake, as announced by Michael Armbrust’s Day 1 keynote at Data + AI Summit 2022.

Multi-cluster writes to Delta Lake Storage in S3
By Scott Sandre , Denny Lee , Mariusz Kryński
While Delta Lake has supported concurrent reads from multiple clusters since its inception, there were limitations for multi-cluster writes specifically to Amazon S3. Note, this was not a limitation for Azure ADLSgen2 nor Google GCS, as S3 currently lacks “put-If-Absent” consistency guarantees. Thus, to guarantee ACID transactions on S3, one would need to have concurrent writes originating from the same Apache Spark™ driver. This was one of the most requested issues by the community and we are excited to announce that Delta Lake 1.2 (release notes, blog) now supports writing data from multiple clusters to S3 while maintaining the transactionality of the writes.
