Barclays Post Trade real-time trade monitoring platform was historically built on a complex set of legacy technologies including Java, Solace, and custom micro-services.This session will demonstrate how the power of Lakeflow Declarative Pipelines' new real-time mode, in conjunction with the foreach_batch_sink, can enable simple, cost-effective streaming pipelines that can load high volumes of data into Databricks new Serverless OLTP database with very low latency.Once in our OLTP database, this can be used to update real-time trading dashboards, securely hosted in Databricks Apps, with the latest stock trades - enabling better, more responsive decision-making and alerting.The session will walk-through the architecture, and demonstrate how simple it is to create and manage the pipelines and apps within the Databricks environment.

In today’s fast-evolving crypto landscape, organizations require fast, reliable intelligence to manage risk, investigate financial crime, and stay ahead of evolving threats. In this session we will discover how Elliptic built a scalable, high-performance Data Intelligence Platform that delivers real-time, actionable Blockchain insights to their customers. We’ll walk you through some of the key components of the Elliptic Platform, including the Elliptic Entity Graph and our User-Facing Analytics. Our focus will be put on the evolution of our User-Facing Analytics capabilities, and specifically how components from the Databricks ecosystem such as Structured Streaming, Delta Lake, and SQL Warehouse have played a vital role. We’ll also share some of the optimizations we’ve made to our streaming jobs to maximize performance and ensure Data Completeness. Whether you’re looking to enhance your streaming capabilities, expand your knowledge of how crypto analytics works or simply discover novel approaches to data processing at scale, this session will provide concrete strategies and valuable lessons learned.
