Confluent

Data streaming platform built on Apache Kafka

About Confluent

Confluent is a managed Kafka platform built for data and platform teams who need to stream data across clouds without operating Kafka clusters. It provides schema registry connectors and stream governance, so teams can adopt event streaming without cluster operations running Zookeeper and brokers yourself. The workflow keeps setup practical for everyday use, with documentation and integrations that fit existing stacks rather than forcing a complete replacement of tools a team already relies on daily.
