| Capability | Event streams can be reviewed without waiting on a personal export |
Story
First Quantum Minerals did not need another dashboard that nobody opened. It needed real-time operations to move. In Canada, platform engineers already knew where event streams went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.
Databricks SQL from Databricks is now in that path. Databricks provides a lakehouse platform for data engineering, analytics, and AI, with Unity Catalog and Mosaic AI for governed models. The company treats it as production tooling for real-time operations, which is why platform engineers live in it rather than exporting from it once a quarter.
First Quantum Minerals can show how event streams is handled today. That is the value: a repeatable way to run real-time operations on software the rest of the industry already recognizes.
