Companies are dealing with an unprecedented amount of information, whether it is data from systems, applications, customers or something else. So, how do we move this data forward?

Confluent gives you the ability to publish, subscribe, store and process data, with maximum performance. It works as a modern distributed system, fully scalable, running as a cluster to support a huge range of data processing applications.

Founded by the creators of Apache Kafka, the Confluent platform is a complete solution for enterprise-scale streaming pipelines. It powers Kafka development capabilities, offering seamless integration features and tools to architect and manage Kafka clusters, making it easy to deploy and operate.

If you are a new user, you can start with Confluent Open Source, ideal for developers aiming to build streaming applications using a diverse set of development languages. For companies, Confluent Enterprise provides multi-datacentre replication, easy connector management and other unique features that enable simplification of the management of streaming pipelines and integration of real-time data flows into business processes. Ultimately, Confluence Cloud managed service allows you to create a stream in the cloud and synchronise cloud with on-premises clusters, unlocking greater development speed.

Based on Apache Kafka’s modern distributed system, Confluent works as a central platform that can connect multiple data sources and destinations, scaling with the company’s data flow needs. It supports trillions of messages a day without losing performance, at very low latencies.

Confluent is the only streaming solution that fully supports Kafka capabilities, namely advanced connect and streaming APIs. Top companies worldwide such as LinkedIn, Uber and Netflix are using Kafka to run the digital business transformation.

As technology evolves and the number of devices connected to the internet increases, new security threats emerge. With Confluent, data pipelines can be encrypted, supporting authentication and authorisation, ensuring that data is protected and only available to authorised parties.

In complex systems, sometimes things happen along the way, like computer failures and network hiccups. With the Confluent multi-cluster environment and centralised configuration, it is easy to manage data within the system, since this technology offers full support against failures.
