Blog post from Confluent
The Data Streaming Awards highlight organizations using real-time data technologies to improve operations, customer experiences, and innovation across industries. Uber was named Streaming Company of the Year for using Apache Kafka to process 10 trillion messages daily with high reliability and low latency, supporting rides, deliveries, dynamic pricing, analytics, and communication. Penske won for its predictive-maintenance system, which processes roughly 190 million IoT messages each day to anticipate truck failures and is expected to prevent more than 90,000 roadside breakdowns annually. Wise received recognition for a company-wide platform built with Kafka Streams and Apache Flink that enables real-time financial processing for tens of millions of customers and approximately £27 billion in quarterly transfers. The U.S. Postal Service was honored for applying event-driven streaming to track more than 421 million mail pieces daily, modernize legacy operations, and rapidly support programs such as nationwide COVID-19 test-kit distribution. Startup PAUL Tech AG was recognized for connecting building sensors and actuators to streaming and machine-learning systems, aiming to reduce building energy consumption by up to 40 percent with limited infrastructure changes.
