Verified Integrations Program

Providing customers an assurance of compatibility and functionality with Confluent Platform and Kafka.

Kafka Connect API is a standardized and pluggable framework for handling import and export of data from Kafka with inbound and outbound connectors or integrations. The Verified Integrations Program helps ISVs build and verify connectors and integrations, to adhere to that framework. This provides customers an assurance of compatibility and functionality with Confluent Platform and Kafka.
