What is Confluent?
Industry Specialties: Serves all industries
Confluent is a cloud-native data streaming platform for data storage and management. It integrates Apache Kafka with other systems and offers pre-built connectors for other sources. Users can get the most out of Kafka with real-time data flows and processing.
Enterprise-grade security protects data, and automated monitoring detects potential problems. Processing is continuous, so data moves in real time and reaches the users who need it. Pipelines can be built and managed in a simple graphical interface with multiple programming languages supported.
