Story
Liebherr grew event streams faster than the local tools around it. From Switzerland, industrials 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 Connect put real-time operations on Confluent. Confluent is the data streaming platform built around Apache Kafka, used to move events between applications in real time. Liebherr 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.
