Story
Consumer Discretionary work at Carnival spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Secure data sharing was splitting across regional habits. Data platform and lines of business asked for a shared way to run partner data exchange without freezing local judgment.
Confluent (Apache Kafka) is what they standardized on. Confluent is the data streaming platform built around Apache Kafka, used to move events between applications in real time. Carnival uses it as the system of record for secure data sharing, with data platform and lines of business as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
