Stripe: Building a Real-Time Analytics Platform

In this presentation, Lakshmi Rao, a software engineer at Stripe, discusses building a real-time analytics platform using Apache Pinot. Stripe, a payments infrastructure provider, utilizes Pinot to empower users with fast, accurate, and fresh data about their transactions. Pinot powers user-facing interactions, internal use cases, and supports various platform offerings within Stripe. Lakshmi explains the user experience, the process of deploying Pinot clusters, data ingestion, observability, and future plans to automate user onboarding, abstract the cluster details from users, and contribute to the Pinot open-source community.
