Confluentโs Extended Partnership with Google Cloud Builds on Momentum Across Customer Success and Technical Innovations
As more companies seek to deliver personalized customer experiences and context-rich business operations, there is a growing demand for real-time data connectivity across diverse locations to update applications in real time. Available through Google Cloud Marketplace, Confluent is the connective tissue that allows real-time data from multiple sources to constantly stream across the organization. It feeds real-time data into best of breed Google Cloud services such as BigQuery, Google Cloud Storage, Dataflow, Dataproc, and VertexAI for organizations to build cutting edge machine learning, artificial intelligence, and streaming analytics use cases. For example, when Confluent is used with VertexAI, customers can build powerful generative AI applications leveraging Google Cloud's foundational models and augmenting them with real-time context. Also, Confluentโs fully managed data streaming platform significantly alleviates the operational burdens, risks and costs of managing Apache Kafkaยฎ.
โA lot of the cost savings over the last twelve months have come from moving into a more efficient way of developing applications with stream processing,โ said Rob Contreras, Technical Architect, Toolstation. โWith Confluentโs Google Cloud integration built in, we get consistent pricing that makes it easierโwhich is important, because we have a budget, and weโre a low-margin business.โ
"We spent a lot of time managing our own brokers and databases and wanted to offload some of that. Confluent Cloud was the clear choice for us," says Jack Butler, Software Architect, Cargo Signal. "Getting Confluent Cloud on Google Cloud Marketplace was a big win for us. It removed our infrastructure concerns, frees us to focus on all aspects of our Kafka integrations, and increased our general speed as a business."
Confluentโs expanded partnership with Google Cloud deepens commitments across several focus areas and initiatives. Added technical support will further integrations between Confluent and Google Cloudโs data and analytics services. And, with enhanced go-to-market resourcing, there will be more awareness of the unique value that Confluent brings to Google Cloud customers, driving greater alignment across sales, marketing and engineering teams. The renewed commitment will build on the meaningful milestones Confluent and Google Cloud have already achieved, notably:
