Many enterprises wanting to accelerate development time for their digital native applications default to serverless architectures, and for good reason. Self-serve provisioning, elastic scaling, lower TCO, and industry-standard security features make it easy for developers to spend more time building and less time managing.
Extend is a modern product protection platform that covers products from point-of-purchase through enjoyment with shipping and product protection. Together with Confluent and Amazon Web Services, Extend has codified and automated all of their infrastructure and leveraged AWS serverless technologies to solve problems for customers by redefining the antiquated extended warranty industry.
Join to explore how Extend pairs Confluent's cloud-native, serverless Apache Kafka offering with AWS serverless services to build data applications and platforms that scale.
