Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Productivity | Fewer stalled items because event streams has a clear owner |
| Productivity | Handoffs in real-time operations sit in a shared queue instead of a mailbox trail |
| Risk and compliance | Unistore is the governed place platform engineers use for real-time operations |
Story
Inside Sempra, real-time operations used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in utilities groups working out of the United States. Platform engineers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Sempra uses Unistore from Snowflake as the working layer for event streams. Snowflake is a cloud data platform that separates storage and compute so organizations can share, analyze, and govern data across clouds. The practical change is simple: real-time operations has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Sempra gets from Snowflake is a durable place to run real-time operations and a way for platform engineers to see the same event streams at the same time.
