Case Study: Leading Korean Automotive Company achieves 50% lower TCO and zero downtime for Kafka distribution with meshIQ

Leading Automotive OEM Achieves Real-Time Monitoring With Zero Latency

Leading Korean Automotive Company needed a highly available, performant microservices architecture for its Connected Vehicle program and required zero latency/downtime, minimal operational overhead, and commercially supported software. After initially selecting a commercially supported Kafka distribution, they experienced high operational costs, provisioning inaccuracies, and Kafka complexity that slowed development and reduced engineer engagement — so they engaged meshIQ to find a more cost-effective, production-ready Kafka approach.

meshIQ delivered a cost-effective Kafka distribution featuring self-management and engagement capabilities, partition-distribution monitoring, a standardized Kafka architecture tailored to connected vehicle needs, and Change Data Capture (CDC) with live migration support. The deployment reduced total cost of ownership by 50%, produced fully engaged and more efficient software engineers, and achieved zero downtime during and after migration.
