What is Apache Kafka and What is Confluent?
Apache Kafka is an open-source distributed streaming system used for stream processing, real-time data pipelines, and data integration at scale. Originally created to handle real-time data feeds at LinkedIn in 2011, Kafka quickly evolved from messaging queue to a full-fledged event streaming platform capable of handling over 1 million messages per second, or trillions of messages per day.
Confluent’s data streaming platform builds on top of Kafka use cases and adds even more elasticity, performance, and scalability.
Why you and customers should use Confluent
Complete
Confluent gives you more than just Kafka. We provide you with easy ways to get your data in and out of Kafka with 120+ connectors. There’s also built-in stream processing, enterprise security & governance, global resilience, and more, eliminating the burden and risk of building and maintaining these in-house.
Cloud Native
We’ve completely re-architected Kafka. This means it’s been re-design to take advantage of the cloud's elasticity, scalability, and global availability - providing a serverless, cost-effective, and fully managed service ready to deploy, operate, and scale in a matter of minutes.
Everywhere
Whether in the cloud, across multiple clouds, or on-prem, Confluent can run anywhere. AWS Outpost, AWS Snowball (check out blog about that), Raspberry Pi, Amazon EKS, etc. - best of all, you can seamlessly link it all together in real-time to create a consistent data layer across your business.
