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

"With Confluent, we have confidence in our Kafka deployment. Confluent engineers not only provide us with support, but they also share with us their deep knowledge of Kafka to help us make the most of our streaming use cases."

“Everything we do is in real time because batch processing is an old way of thinking. The longer your data waits, the less value it has. So, as data comes through, you need to be able to act on it, or enrich it quickly. Confluent enables this for us.”

"With Confluent, we have a much more flexible architecture that makes it possible for our teams to operate more independently, and that ultimately leads to greater speed across the organization. We’re removing technology barriers and getting data to the teams that need it faster, and that’s enabling us to take …

"It’s amazing how much more we can get done when we don’t have to worry about exactly how to do things. We can trust Confluent to offer a secure and rock-solid Kafka platform with a myriad of value-add capabilities like security, connectors, and stream governance on top."

"Availability of data is crucial, and having a fully managed platform for the data distribution lets us provide solutions to our customers at speed."

"With Confluent Cloud, we have high-performance event streaming, with the ability to store events securely. This makes it possible for our deterministic matching engine and settlement system to go back in time and replay a sequence in order if we need to."

"Our experience with Confluent Support has been very positive. The response times have been quite fast. We’ve been able to isolate and resolve issues substantially faster than we could on our own, which definitely has helped our velocity."

"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 …

"Running Kafka ourselves was a bit of a no-go given our team size and requirements. As a team we decided we wanted to focus on the technical functions of the platform. We wanted to spend more energy on these functionalities, and leave other things to Confluent who can do it …

“Kafka scales way better than most other data-exchange platforms, as it doesn’t use HTTP for data exchange and offers blazingly fast throughput out-of-the-box.”

"The developers saw the value in Confluent once we had Confluent engineers come in to review our designs. They saved us from making a lot of mistakes early on and helped us eliminate many bottlenecks.”

"We never use the excuse that ‘we’re learning’ to lessen our customers’ expectations of our digital services. Confluent expertise and Confluent Platform capabilities are helping us shorten the learning curve as Kafka takes on a larger role in our modern software architecture.”

"This solution uses multiple features of Confluent Platform. We structure the data from our Cassandra databases using a model stored in Schema Registry, and we use Confluent Replicator to replicate topics across multiple datacenters."

"Using Kafka and Confluent, Walmart has initiated a digital transformation and modern omnichannel experience that allows customers to interact with Walmart.com seamlessly, order groceries online or in a mobile app, and either pick them up or have them delivered. Walmart’s investment in event streaming with Confluent has contributed to business …
