DeltaForge

DeltaForge is a software publisher focused on making open table formats, specifically Delta Lake and Apache Iceberg, directly accessible from everyday analytics tools and workflows, without requiring a data warehouse, compute cluster, or copy-based ingestion pipeline. Its product range of four packages covers the full spectrum of data access scenarios, from command-line exploration to enterprise BI connectivity. The DeltaForge CLI enables analysts and engineers to query Delta Lake and Iceberg tables in place directly from a terminal, supporting ad hoc inspection and lightweight data exploration without infrastructure setup. For integration with established analytics ecosystems, DeltaForge offers two standards-based drivers: the DeltaForge ODBC Driver, an ODBC 3.80-compliant connector that allows tools such as Excel, Power BI, Tableau, and any ODBC-capable application to query open table formats natively, and the DeltaForge ADBC Driver, a high-throughput, Arrow-native connector designed for columnar data transfer, which ships with a bundled Power BI custom connector for streamlined dashboard development. Rounding out the portfolio, the DeltaForge Platform provides a broader workspace for working with Delta Lake and Iceberg data, where users can run SQL queries, build data pipelines, and query property graphs using the Cypher graph query language, combining tabular and graph analytics in a single environment. Typical use cases include BI reporting directly on lakehouse storage, terminal-based data investigation, integration of lakehouse tables into third-party applications via standard driver interfaces, and pipeline construction or graph analysis over data stored in open formats. Together, the products position DeltaForge as a connectivity and analytics layer for organizations standardizing on open lakehouse architectures.
