Microsoft just announced a new SAAS product at Microsoft Build: Microsoft Fabric. It is a data analytics and BI platform, and they chose Delta Lake as storage format. delta io https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/fabric/

I think it is a Microsoft person who has the still open auto compact/optimize PRs, not sure if they're related to this product, but at least they're trying to contribute

Do they have any capable developers? Fabric mostly seems like marketing driven.

Would also like to have some proper docs around that 'vorder' compression for parquet
