Operational Impact
The use of Lenses to operate Apache Kafka allowed Article's engineering team to focus on developing microservices rather than learning and operating complex technologies. This shift in focus led to an increase in the velocity and quality of event-driven applications. The team was able to optimize truck routing, fulfillment sources, and purchase orders confidently. The time saved on searching for streaming data was redirected towards building better applications for ecommerce. As a result, Article was not only able to react in real-time to the demand surge during the global crisis but also maintain a market-leading customer experience for the future. | |
