Supercharging Sales Intelligence: Processing Billions of Events via Structured Streaming

DigiCert is a digital security company that provides digital certificates, encryption and authentication services and serves 88% of the Fortune 500, securing over 28 billion web connections daily. Our project aggregates and analyzes certificate transparency logs via public APIs to provide comprehensive market and competitive intelligence. Instead of relying on third-party providers with limited data, our project gives full control, deeper insights and automation. Databricks has helped us reliably poll public APIs in a scalable manner that fetches millions of events daily, deduplicate and store them in our Delta tables. We specifically use Spark for parallel processing, structured streaming for real-time ingestion and deduplication, Delta tables for data reliability, pools and jobs to ensure our costs are optimized. These technologies help us keep our data fresh, accurate and cost effective. This data has helped our sales team with real-time intelligence, ensuring DigiCert's success.
