Case Study: Virta accelerates EV charging platform development with Confluent

Virta Powers EV Charging with Confluent’s Real-Time Data Streaming Platform

Virta, a fast-growing EV charging provider serving more than a thousand companies, needed a way to scale its data architecture as its network expanded to over 350,000 charging points. Its monolithic system and growing message volumes were creating delays, operational bottlenecks, and inconsistent customer experiences, so the company looked for a scalable real-time streaming solution to support faster development and better visibility.

Virta implemented Confluent Cloud, Confluent’s fully managed real-time data streaming platform, to replace the burden of self-managing Kafka clusters and enable elastic scaling. With Confluent, Virta now processes 45 million messages per hour in real time, updates charging station data in less than a second, accelerates time to market for new features and services, and reduces costs through usage-based pricing.
