AWS Lambda's Kafka Event Source Mapping now supports Confluent Schema Registry. This update simplifies building event-driven applications by eliminating the need for custom code to deserialize Avro/Protobuf data. The integration makes it easier and more efficient to leverage Confluent Cloud.

This blog outlines how to build cost-effective, high-throughput serverless streaming applications using Confluent Cloud Freight clusters for data ingestion and AWS Lambda functions for processing.

AWS Lambda is a serverless, event-driven compute service that lets you run code for virtually any type of application or backend service. Lambda functions and Kafka topics can be combined to build scalable event-driven architectures that can fit many use cases across almost any industry.
