Story
Pearson grew event streams faster than the local tools around it. From the United Kingdom, communication services 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 Horizon Catalog put real-time operations on Snowflake. Snowflake is a cloud data platform that separates storage and compute so organizations can share, analyze, and govern data across clouds. Pearson 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.
