About Confluent

Confluent provides the leading data streaming platform, built on and extending Apache Kafka. The platform enables organizations to process and react to data in real time, connecting disparate systems, applications, and data stores through event streams.

Confluent Cloud is a fully managed Kafka service available on AWS, Azure, and GCP. It eliminates the operational complexity of running Kafka clusters while providing enterprise features including multi-region replication, schema management, and governance.

Stream Processing with Apache Flink on Confluent Cloud enables real-time data transformation and analytics without managing separate processing infrastructure. Connectors for 120+ data systems enable streaming integration without custom code.

Stream Governance provides schema registry, data catalog, and data quality tools for streaming data, bringing the same governance discipline applied to batch data to real-time streams.
