Our Multi-Year Journey to a 10x Faster Confluent Cloud

« Current 2023

Confluent Cloud is a cloud-native service based on Apache Kafka. We run tens of thousands of clusters across all major cloud service providers (AWS, GCP and Azure). In this talk, we will go over our journey to make Confluent Cloud 10x faster than Apache Kafka.

We will talk about how we designed our various workloads, the complexities involved in our cloud-native service, the challenges we faced, and the various pitfalls we ran into. We will also cover the interesting learnings, which in hindsight, are first principles from this multi-year journey.

By attending this talk, attendees will be able to take our learnings from making Confluent Cloud latencies 10x better and possibly apply similar principles to their cloud native data streaming systems.
