Before co-creating Apache Spark and co-founding Databricks, computer scientist Ion Stoica co-founded Conviva, a video streaming startup used by publishers like NBC and Disney+ to track user metrics and quality of service. Having tackled some of the toughest real-time data processing challenges in Internet video, and seeing a surge of interest in real-time data, Conviva is now looking to apply its streaming data platform to other data use cases in other industries.
