Feature
Confluent is the data streaming platform that is pioneering a fundamentally new category of data infrastructure that sets data in motion. Confluent’s cloud-native offering is the foundational platform for data in motion—designed to be the intelligent connective tissue enabling real-time data, from multiple sources, to constantly stream across the organisation. With Confluent, organisations can meet the new business imperative of delivering rich, digital front-end customer experiences and transitioning to sophisticated, real-time, software-driven backend operations.
Confluent has built a foundational platform for data in motion which empowers enterprises with the ability to be innovative and succeed in the new digital-first economy. The company’s platform serves as the central nervous system that connects different parts of the enterprise together and makes data available to where it is needed in real-time, so customers can deliver a better experience, and optimise their backend infrastructure.
Used by over 70% of the Fortune 500, Apache Kafka has become the foundational platform for data in motion. But self-supporting this open-source project puts organisations in the business of managing low-level data infrastructure. That’s why modern businesses choose Confluent, so they can keep their focus where it matters. With Kafka at its core, Confluent offers a more complete, cloud-native platform to set data in motion, making it available everywhere an organisation’s data and applications reside.
Confluent provides a truly cloud-native experience, completing Kafka with a holistic set of enterprise-grade features
Confluent provides a truly cloud-native experience, completing Kafka with a holistic set of enterprise-grade features. Underpinning the platform is Confluent’s 99.99% uptime SLA and committer-driven expertise, providing support and services from the team with over one million hours of technical experience with Kafka.
We have made significant investments in completely rebuilding our offering in the cloud to make it truly cloud-native. This has resulted in many enterprises starting their data streaming journey in Confluent Cloud, and existing customers adopting Confluent to manage hybrid and multicloud environments.
We believe data in motion is at the centre of the next major wave of technology innovation companies are undergoing. The ability to harness it will be a key factor in determining the competitiveness of every company in the economy of the future, and we’re continuing to build a product that makes that possible for any company.
