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.
