In light of the global pandemic, The University of California, San Diego had to shut down on-campus facilities, resulting in a loss of millions of dollars every month. The university felt immense pressure to transition and build out their online learning platform, ultimately transforming how they serve their students, employees, researchers, and IT admins. However, their existing legacy architecture did not allow the IT team to be agile enough to anticipate and react quickly to real-time changes. Addressing these challenges meant rethinking how IT looked at real-time data.
