I would like to understand who provides the server when using Delta sharing? If a customer exposes their delta table through Delta sharing, is it the customer who needs to setup a cluster or server to process the incoming requests?

The producer does need a cluster to set up Delta Sharing. However, once the handoff happens no cluster is needed, the data will be delivered via storage services.
