**Databricks just made a BIG move in the data world. 🚨**

DLT (Delta Live Tables) was once a Databricks-only feature.

**Not anymore.**

Databricks has open-sourced the technology into Apache Spark as **Spark Declarative Pipelines (SDP)**.

In simple words:
πŸ‘‰ You describe **what data pipeline you want**
πŸ‘‰ Spark figures out **how to execute it**
πŸ‘‰ Dependencies are automatically managed
πŸ‘‰ Independent tables can run in parallel
πŸ‘‰ Data quality checks can be defined directly in the pipeline

And the interesting part? πŸ‘‡

**Your existing DLT code still works.**
There’s no forced migration.

The bigger change is this:

**Declarative pipelines are moving from being a Databricks feature to becoming an open Spark standard.**

If you're working with Databricks or Apache Spark, **SDP is definitely something worth learning now.**

Are you already experimenting with **Spark Declarative Pipelines outside Databricks?** πŸš€
