| Capability | Real-time operations stays visible to adjacent teams through Mosaic AI |
Story
Inside Delta Air Lines, real-time operations used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in industrials groups working out of the United States. Platform engineers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Delta Air Lines uses Mosaic AI from Databricks as the working layer for event streams. Databricks provides a lakehouse platform for data engineering, analytics, and AI, with Unity Catalog and Mosaic AI for governed models. 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 Delta Air Lines gets from Databricks 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.
