Mercedes-Benz Builds a Cross-Cloud Data Mesh with Delta Sharing and Intelligent Replication, Cutting Costs by 66%

Mercedes-Benz implemented a hybrid Delta Sharing and intelligent replication architecture to enable cross-cloud data mesh between AWS and Azure, reducing egress costs by 66% while improving data freshness. The solution uses Databricks Delta Sharing for real-time cross-cloud access and Delta Deep Clone for periodic incremental replication of frequently accessed datasets. The implementation demonstrates automotive industry's shift toward data-defined vehicles where telemetry and customer insights drive product development and competitive advantage.
