Confluent Cloud is the industry's only fully managed data streaming platform. With Confluent Cloud, you can future-proof your data architecture and unlock data access, massive scalability, high data durability and availability, and stream processing and analytics use cases.

You can get started directly in the cloud console or take advantage of integrated billing with your cloud service provider by signing up in the AWS, Google CloudGoogle Cloud or Microsoft Azure marketplace. After you sign up, use the Quick Start Guide to get familiar with using the web UI or Confluent CLI to manage clusters and topics.

Apache Kafka® is a distributed streaming engine that powers high-throughput, fault tolerant, and highly scalable real-time data pipelines, stream processing, and event-driven data integration. In contrast, Confluent is a complete data streaming platform that goes beyond Kafka to offer enterprise-grade capabilities for securing, connecting, governing, and processing data streams with cloud-native autoscaling, enterprise-grade security, and pre-built and fully managed integrations.

As the fully managed deployment of our platform, Confluent Cloud is powered by a cloud-native Kafka service, fully rebuilt for seamless scalability and hybrid cloud integration. See a complete comparison of Confluent vs. Apache Kafka or learn more about Kora, our cloud-native Kafka engine.
