Couple of Delta Lake questions

Hey guys,

We're considering Delta Lake as the storage for our project and have a couple questions. The first one is what's the pricing for Delta Lake - can't seem to find a page that says x amount costs y.

The second question is more technical - if we want to use the python library to access our Delta Lake data instead of spark, do we have to convert the Delta Lake to a Pandas dataframe? This blog seems to say so https://databricks.com/blog/2020/12/22/natively-query-your-delta-lake-with-scala-java-and-python.htm.... Our concern is our Delta Lake will be many GBs of data and it won't fit in a single Pandas dataframe.
