Confluent
Stream, connect, process, and govern your data in real time.
Confluent is a cloud-native data streaming platform built on Apache Kafka and Apache Flink, enabling organizations to move, connect, process, and govern data in real time. It offers both a managed cloud service (Confluent Cloud) and a self-managed distribution (Confluent Platform) with 120+ pre-built connectors, schema governance, and enterprise-grade security. It powers event-driven applications, real-time analytics, AI pipelines, and data integration across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
Confluent extends Apache Kafka with a cloud-native engine (Kora) that autoscales, connects systems via pre-built connectors, and governs data streams for reliability, security, and compliance.
