One-line description

DeltaForge is a customer-installed lakehouse analytics platform: a native SQL and graph engine for Delta Lake and Apache Iceberg that runs in the customer's own cloud, on-premises, or air-gapped.

Short description · about 50 words

DeltaForge is a lakehouse analytics platform installed in the customer's own environment. It queries Delta Lake and Apache Iceberg tables directly with Postgres-flavored SQL and native Cypher graph queries, connects to Power BI, Tableau, and Excel through ODBC and ADBC drivers, and meters compute only while queries actually run.

Full description · about 150 words

DeltaForge is a commercial, customer-installed data platform for the lakehouse. It runs SQL, graph (Cypher), and pipeline workloads directly on Delta Lake and Apache Iceberg tables stored in the customer's own storage account, with no managed SaaS in the data path. The engine is written in Rust and runs roughly five times faster than Apache Spark on standard read benchmarks, verified by a public conformance suite of thousands of bi-directional scenarios against Spark. BI tools connect through ODBC and ADBC drivers; AI assistants such as Claude, Cursor, and Copilot connect through the built-in MCP server under the same RBAC and audit chain as human users. Compute is metered as core-seconds while a query runs, so idle infrastructure bills nothing. Because data, metadata, and query workloads stay on infrastructure the customer controls, DeltaForge fits data sovereignty, regulated-industry, and air-gapped requirements that managed SaaS platforms cannot meet.

The Pitch

Key selling points

The six arguments that win deals, in the order to present them

Data stays with the customer

Customer-installed in their Azure subscription, on-premises, or air-gapped. No external provider operates the environment or reads table contents. Open Delta Lake and Apache Iceberg formats keep exit cost near zero.

Pay for questions, not idle clusters

Compute is metered as core-seconds while a query runs. An idle node bills nothing. No per-row scan fees, no per-API charges, no minimum cluster uptime.

Speed that is measured in public

Roughly five times faster than Apache Spark on TPC-H and TPC-DS reads and roughly four times faster writing 10 million rows to plain Delta, reproducible with the published benchmark harness.

Correctness with receipts

Every release is checked against Apache Spark across thousands of read and write scenarios in both directions, with expected values produced outside the engine. The conformance matrix is public.

BI and AI on day one

Power BI, Tableau, and Excel connect through ODBC and ADBC. AI assistants connect through the built-in MCP server. Existing SQL skills carry over; the grammar matches PostgreSQL.

One platform, many workloads

SQL analytics, native Cypher graph queries, ETL pipelines with scheduling and lineage, healthcare formats (HL7, FHIR), EDI, and geospatial in a single engine. Fewer products to license, deploy, and secure.

Ideal Customer Profiles

Who to sell it to

Customer profiles where DeltaForge wins

Regulated and sovereignty-sensitive organizations

Financial services, healthcare, and public sector customers who cannot place data in a vendor-operated SaaS. DeltaForge runs entirely inside the customer's tenancy, which keeps CLOUD Act and residency questions out of the architecture review.

Teams paying too much for idle lakehouse compute

Customers running lakehouse workloads where clusters sit idle between queries. Active-compute metering plus the read speed advantage directly reduces the bill for the same answers.

Organizations standardizing on open table formats

Customers who already write Delta Lake or Apache Iceberg and want BI, graph, and AI access without copying data into a second warehouse or committing to a proprietary format.

Usage guidelines: keep the logo on a dark or neutral background with clear space around it, do not recolor, stretch, or add effects to it, and do not combine it with your own mark into a single lockup. Always present DeltaForge as a commercial product; do not describe it as free or open-source software.

One command turns raw files into queryable Delta tables: format detection, schema inference, and table creation end to end.

Geospatial

A million point-in-polygon lookups

Millisecond geospatial joins with Uber H3 functions, straight from SQL on Delta tables.
