Exam Databricks-Certified-Data-Engineer-Associate Topic 4 Question 93 Discussion

Delta Lake is the optimized storage layer that provides the foundation for storing data and tables in the Databricks lakehouse.
Delta Lake is fully compatible with Apache Spark APIs, and was developed for tight integration with Structured Streaming, allowing you to easily use a single copy of data for both batch and streaming operations and providing incremental processing at scale1. Delta Lake supports upserts using the merge operation, which enables you to efficiently update existing data or insert new data into your Delta tables2. Delta Lake also provides time travel capabilities, which allow you to query previous versions of your data or roll back to a specific point in time3.
