“Confluent is critical for how Vimeo instruments our product and how we make that information available across a multitude of different surface areas. Whether data is fed back into the product or into a pipeline for ML and AI teams, or the product team’s self-service tools to better understand how our customers are experiencing the product. There are always opportunities for improvement, where analysts and data scientists can curate, measure, identify usage patterns on the user journey.”

"Confluent and Google Cloud enabled us to address our large database footprint and retire our legacy data platform, which was in many ways our Achilles heel.

Ultimately, it makes us more profitable, so data streaming is extremely critical to our business and has a huge impact.”

"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 if we run into any issues, we have experts at Confluent to help us look into them and resolve them. That puts us in a great position as a team and as a company."
