They specialize in enabling businesses to connect and process all of their data in real-time, providing improved workflows, automation, and digital customer experiences. Confluent was founded by the creators of Apache Kafka and offers a reinvented version of Kafka for the data streaming era. Their platform includes features such as elastic scalability, guaranteed resiliency, low latency, and enterprise-grade security and governance.
