Story
Fortescue grew event streams faster than the local tools around it. From Australia, materials teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Platform engineers were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Databricks Data Intelligence Platform put real-time operations on Databricks. Databricks provides a lakehouse platform for data engineering, analytics, and AI, with Unity Catalog and Mosaic AI for governed models. Fortescue keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so platform engineers do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier real-time operations. Event streams is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join platform engineers without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
