A practitioner’s guide to adopting a managed Kafka deployment model


Your team has better things to do than toil in the daily operation of running Apache Kafka® as a platform. This operational toil keeps your team from utilizing the critical engineering skills they’ve been hired for.

IBM® Confluent—a managed Kafka platform created by Confluent, an IBM Company—can drastically reduce your operational burden while helping maintain flexibility and control. Use IBM Confluent to build real-time applications, ship new features fast and deploy them anywhere.

Four key implementation patterns IBM Confluent leverages:

  1. Change data capture (CDC) pipeline
  2. Event-driven microservices
  3. Real-time ML feature pipeline
  4. Streaming ETL and data lakehouse ingestion
