Video Series — Getting to Grips with Confluent
Confluent Cloud vs Confluent Platform
Video Summary
So far in this video series, we've explored some key concepts and products like stream processing and Apache Kafka, and introduced some Confluent mechanics.
This time, we move the conversation along to directly compare Confluent's two main services: Platform and Cloud. As Oscar Moores explains in this video, while Confluent Platform functions in a similar way to Confluent Cloud, it has a whole array of different developmental challenges that may not be suitable for your business requirements. Confluent Cloud is typically easier to use with no physical infrastructure to maintain, plus it includes a managed schema registry and managed connectors.
Watch this video to uncover all the key differences between the two products, and identify which would be most beneficial for your organisation.
