Loving Polars and Delta Lake - but not sure I was say "goodbye" to Spark as there are still a lot of scenarios that benefit massively from it. But then again, I am a tad biased, eh?! :)

Great post as usual Daniel, I also have a small project with same stack with your blogpost where I ingest a parquet from S3, transform it to delta table, do some processing and export back to S3.

Love Polars. It's even better if you mix it with DuckDB.
