  Delta Lake publishes no plans and no pricing, and none would apply. It is an Apache-2.0
  open source storage framework and an open REST protocol governed by LF Projects, LLC —
  software you run yourself, not a metered hosted service. There is no signup, no billing
  relationship and no quota to sell. The only endpoint the project operates,
  https://sharing.delta.io/delta-sharing/, is a free public demo sharing server with an
  openly published bearer token (see sandbox/delta-lake-sandbox.yml).

  This file previously carried a scaffold Free/Pro/Enterprise ladder with invented quotas and
  prices, written by the 2026-05-04 bulk sweep. That scaffold was removed on 2026-09-05 and
  replaced with the measured result: the provider publishes nothing to record.
  https://delta.io/pricing returned HTTP 404 when probed.

  note: >-
    Commercial Delta Lake offerings exist, but they are sold by vendors such as Databricks
    under their own brands and are not the Delta Lake project's plans.
