Launch a Cluster in Minutes to Start Streaming, Faster
Deploying a Kafka cluster on Confluent Cloud means you don’t have to:
- Evaluate resource needs (i.e., CPU, RAM, disk space)
- Manually provision, start, or manage brokers and controllers
- Set up, configure or manage security settings, encryption, authentication authorization, and monitoring tools
Just sign up, activate your account, and create your Kafka cluster in 3 simple steps.
Stream Sample Data & See How Easy Integration Can Be
Once you’ve created a Kafka topic, you’ll use a Kafka connector to start streaming sample data.
Confluent has 120+ pre-built connectors. Which means no need to download, configure, or build connectors for popular data sources and sinks like PostgreSQL, Amazon S3, MongoDB, Google BigQuery, and more.
Govern & Process Your Data With Built-In Features
