“With Confluent, we have a data streaming platform that’s been quick to set up, where configuration is automated, and with zero maintenance tasks so we can focus on processing logic.”

"We started with pay as you go, and had things up and running in about an hour. Confluent Cloud enabled us to defer the learning curve on running Kafka in-house. We currently don’t have the resources or bandwidth to host and manage clusters ourselves, so instead we have the experts …

"The Connection Platform is a tremendous advantage for us – it’s the core of our IT landscape for the next 10 to 15 years. It connects applications with channels through one vehicle that assures coherence of data."

“With Confluent’s fully managed data streaming platform, we are able to focus on the business side of things, like governance and the metrics around data. As we are evaluating Confluent’s fully managed data streaming platform, we recognize that it will enable us to focus on the business side of things, …

"Real-time inventory accuracy is just the foundation for much more than just inventory management; it enables retailers to improve post sales and supply chain processes as well as customer engagement and the customer experience. And beyond retail, the real-time asset tracking and supply chain management solutions we’ve built with Kafka …

"The level of credibility that Confluent has built in terms of modern, scalable and flexible stream processing does much of our blocking and tackling for us."

“We moved to Confluent Platform because we needed a platform that was stable and could scale easily, and it has security features that we couldn't find from other platforms."

”Confluent has given us a way to seamlessly handle data streaming—something we couldn’t achieve in two years of using standalone Kafka and various legacy technologies. This, in turn, has allowed us to incorporate microservices into our IT architecture to support each of our three business functions.”

"A key advantage of Confluent Cloud in delivering AutoExtract is time to market. We didn’t have to set up a Kafka cluster ourselves or wait for our infrastructure team to do it for us. With Confluent Cloud we quickly had a state-of-the-art Kafka cluster up and running perfectly smoothly. And …

"You have real-time data: stock prices, things that are ticking. You have data that's pretty static: terms and conditions, things like that. And then you have data that's updating periodically: things like position updates. If you can use a tool like Kafka to pull all that data together and combine …

"By capturing events all along the food value chain, processing those events in Confluent Cloud and sharing insights with interested parties throughout the chain, we are not only increasing the value we provide but also making food production as a whole more intelligent and efficient."

“With Confluent, we’ve achieved even more than what we’d hoped for just by being able to organize our information and make it flow without interruption. That was something mind-blowing for us, because our reality before was just the opposite—everything was difficult and manual and everything eventually broke. So we’ve gained …

“When it comes to batch processing versus stream processing, both of them work. But one is a much more efficient way of doing it. A lot of the cost savings over the last twelve months has come from moving into a more efficient way of developing applications with stream processing.”

“We looked at building our own architecture, but we’d much rather consume services than build our own complex Kafka infrastructure. And you [Confluent] invented Kafka, so obviously we just went with that.”

"With Confluent Cloud we have none of the overhead or worries that come with self-managing. We have a guaranteed 99.95% uptime SLA, access to 24x7 expert Kafka support, and access to the latest Kafka developments."
