From the floor of Data Streaming Summit 2025, I had the chance to sit down with Ashwin Raja from Motorq, a StreamNative customer, to talk about the real-world impact of streaming.

Ashwin shared how his team turns live vehicle signals into immediate decisions, where waiting even a few minutes is not an option. Batch systems couldn’t keep up, so Motorq leaned into StreamNative to build reliable pipelines, manage costs, and move from event to action with confidence.

We spoke about what excites him most over the next year: the intersection of streaming and AI, smarter enrichment, anomaly detection, and agents acting safely on live data. The Streaming Lakehouse vision also stood out, making analytics-ready data available without extra hops.

Ashwin appreciated the open, multi-technology approach of this summit, which mirrors how real systems get built. His takeaways and reflections are in the episode now, watch the full conversation to hear how Motorq is shaping the future of connected-vehicle data with streaming.
