Story
Materials work at FMC spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Event streams was splitting across regional habits. Platform engineers asked for a shared way to run real-time operations without freezing local judgment.
Databricks (Unity Catalog) is what they standardized on. Databricks provides a lakehouse platform for data engineering, analytics, and AI, with Unity Catalog and Mosaic AI for governed models. FMC uses it as the system of record for event streams, with platform engineers 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 The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
