The Data Streaming Platform to Connect and Process Data in Real-time
Founded by the creators of Apache Kafka
Confluent is Creating the Foundational Platform for Data-in-Motion.
Confluent was founded in 2014 with its headquarters in Mountain View, California. The company's original founders created Kafka, which later evolved into open-source Apache Kafka. Confluent Platform is a full-scale data streaming platform, built on Apache Kafka, to easily access, store, and manage data as continuous, real-time streams.
Confluent delivers a scalable, resilient and flexible platform built on Kafka that allows organisations worldwide to easily access, store and manage data as continuous real-time streams. Confluent Platform delivers a complete Kafka distribution for on-premise or hybrid architectures, with multiple connectors, simplified data streaming, enterprise security features and total resilience. As Confluent Cloud it is a serverless, elastic cost-effective and fully managed cloud-native service. Confluent makes Kafka effective, accessible and highly performant for multiple organisations globally.

What is Data Streaming?
Data streaming is a technology that processes data in real time as soon as it's generated. It's used in various industries, from multiplayer games to stock trading platforms. Read the ebook to learn more about data streaming, its use cases, and examples.
How Streaming Data Works - Overview, Examples, and Architecture
Data collection is only one piece of the puzzle. Today’s enterprise businesses simply cannot wait for data to be processed in batch form. Instead, everything from fraud detection and stock market platforms, to ride share apps and e-commerce websites rely on real-time event streams.
Paired with streaming data, applications evolve to not only integrate data, but process, filter, analyze, and react to events as they happen in real-time. This opens a new plethora of use cases such as real-time fraud detection, Netflix recommendations, or a seamless shopping experience across multiple devices that updates as you shop.
