Data streaming platform built on Apache Kafka
Confluent is a cloud-native data streaming platform built on Apache Kafka, founded by Kafka's creators, that helps organizations move, process, and react to data in real time. It provides fully managed Kafka, stream processing with Flink and ksqlDB, connectors, schema management, and governance, letting teams build real-time data pipelines and event-driven applications without operating Kafka infrastructure themselves.
Confluent is used by enterprises and data teams that need reliable, scalable real-time data streaming for analytics, microservices, and event-driven systems. Its managed service removes Kafka operational burden, its stream processing enables real-time transformations, and its connectors and governance connect and secure data in motion. For organizations building real-time data infrastructure, Confluent is a leading platform.
