Introduction

Databricks enables seamless data sharing with Kubit through its Delta Sharing feature.

Delta Sharing

Delta Sharing is an open protocol developed by Databricks for secure data sharing across different organizations and platforms. As a Databricks user, you can act as a “data provider” to share data with external “data recipients.” This allows recipients to access the most current version of the shared data immediately.
