“Handing off the operational responsibility for Kafka to someone was, to King, comparable to leaving your kid at kindergarten for the first time. You really need to trust that other party to take good care of your baby.”

“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.”

"With Confluent Cloud, we can now provide operational data in real time to any team that needs it. This is really powerful and significantly reduces our operational burden."

"Confluent engineers have worked hard to ensure our success, both before we went live and after. For SGX, Confluent offers a resilient, low-latency messaging backbone for an architecture that has enabled us to increase agility, streamline DevOps, and shorten time to market."

“With Flink, we now have the opportunity to shift left and do a lot of early data transformations and computation on our data before it reaches Snowflake. This will optimize our data processing costs to increase the amount of data we have available.”

"With Kafka, we can liberate data from our heritage systems and combine it with real-time signals from our customers to deliver a hyper-personalized experience. For example, if our clickstream data shows a customer lingering over a product they looked at in the past, we can push a voucher to them …

"Continuous improvement is part of our culture at KeyBank, and the adoption of Confluent is a good example of our commitment to staying a technology leader within the banking industry."

"From a technology perspective at KeyBank, we want to continue to invest in new platforms that deliver new capabilities and improve our ability to deliver faster. When we saw the demand for harnessing data in motion growing, working with Confluent and investing in our center of excellence enabled us to …

"With Confluent Platform we’re making data available via event streams, which means integration between systems is now a much lighter lift. A project that would take three months if we were working on the integration from both sides, will take significantly less time and effort because we only need to …

"Our internal platform is totally based on Kafka communication between all the pillars, so it’s like a nervous system for us."

“Although we had some experience running open source Kafka ourselves, we recognized that we needed a trusted partner to help us resolve issues that we’d encounter with a larger-scale deployment. Confluent not only had a local office to provide that support, they also had the best known, verified solution, which …

"In addition to providing the performance, scalability, and resiliency that we require for this critical piece of our architecture, Confluent provides the expertise and operational support that lets us focus on building features that are going to help our customers sell more vehicles."

“Confluent Cloud stands out for its focus on security, especially in highly regulated industries such as banking and healthcare.”

"Using Confluent’s out-of-the-box tools really helped us to focus on building new things, rather than solving problems in-house that have already been solved for us at scale by Confluent."

"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 …
