Shaping global infrastructure with ironclad manufacturing

Gerdau, Brazil's largest steel producer, consolidated a complex homegrown open-source data ecosystem onto the Databricks Data + AI Platform, using Delta Lake, Delta Sharing and Unity Catalog to enable real-time processing for digital twin simulations of production lines. The move cut data processing time from 1.5 hours to 12 minutes, delivered a 40% cost reduction for data processing and 80% faster development of streaming solutions, and enabled new AI applications including predictive maintenance, image and text classification, and an LLM-based upskilling assistant for employees.

Transforming Data Pipelines to Power Faster Credit Decisions

Capital One's data and engineering teams built a centralized Feature Hub on Databricks, using Photon as the compute engine and Delta Lake as the foundation, to serve as a single environment for historical and operational feature pipelines supporting its credit line increase program and credit decisioning models. The hub curates records across millions of accounts to provide a unified customer view for both modeling and daily decisioning. Capital One reports 60x faster compute performance for large-scale backfills and an 80% decrease in time and cost per job after migrating production pipelines to Databricks, shortening feature development and deployment from prior timelines to weeks.
