Confluent and Databricks are integrated technologies being used by capital markets and trading operations businesses to gain a real-time understanding of their current risk, informing their trading strategies. This is achieved through the use of Confluent's streaming data technology, which enriches portfolio and market data in real time and feeds it into mathematical models and simulations performed within Databricks' Lakehouse. The result is that key risk metrics can be available near real-time to traders, enabling them to make informed decisions.
