From Telemetry to Real-Time Decisions | WEX + Aiven

WEX is a global leader in intelligent payment solutions, simplifying how businesses run, including the trucking and fleet operators who rely on real-time data to keep moving. Behind every trip is a stream of GPS, driver, and trip data that has to reach the right systems in milliseconds. Ke Xu, Software Engineering Leader for Data, AI and Machine Learning at WEX, explains how WEX built its next-generation telematics data lakehouse on Aiven for Apache Kafka®, streaming GPS events, truck, driver, and trip data to combine location with card transaction data and make decisions in as little as 400 milliseconds. He also shares how Aiven supports WEX's managed open-source strategy, letting the team build on open-source Kafka without the operational overhead. #Aiven #ApacheKafka #WEX #Fintech #Telematics RESOURCES Create your free Aiven account: https://go.aiven.io/youtube-signup AIVEN DATA PLATFORM The Aiven Platform is more than a collection of open source services for streaming, storing and analyzing data.
