What is Confluent?

Confluent builds on the heritage of Apache Kafka and Apache Flink and provides a complete data streaming platform (DSP) to continuously stream, connect, process, and govern data at any scale, everywhere you need to be.

We pioneered the DSP category to turn the spaghetti mess of complex and rigid point-to-point connections created by traditional data management tools into a virtuous cycle of data in motion.

Our DSP allows retailers to build real-time inventory systems, banks to build real-time fraud detection, manufacturing organizations to collect real-time diagnostics for assembly lines, and more.
