Wolt operates in 30+ countries. Every order, every restaurant, every courier runs on the same infrastructure. When it breaks, it doesn't slow things down, it stops everything. Wolt's VP of Engineering shares why Apache Kafka® sits at the heart of their platform, what seven years of partnership with Aiven looks like in practice, and how they're building the data foundation needed to get AI working at scale. #Aiven #ApacheKafka #Wolt #DataInfrastructure 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.
