Can we use databricks delta lake as a data warehouse kind of thing where business analysts can explore data according to their needs ?

Delta lake provides following features which I think supports this idea

  1. support to sql syntax
  2. provide ACID guarantees 3 ) can handle big data workloads
  3. can do some kind of basic visualisation with the reports
  4. parquet formats provide better pe Appvalleyrformance in analytical queries

Any opinions or suggestions ? Anything I am missing Tweakbox

@austiamel47, Yes, you can certainly do this. Delta Lake is designed to be competitive with traditional data warehouses and with some tuning can power low-latency dashboards.
