"Confluent Platform is not just about moving data, it’s about reliable, low-latency data delivery. Without it, near-real-time execution of machine learning models would not be possible for us."

"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 it in ways that you display to end users—whether they be traders, salespeople, managers—and you provide them analytics across that data, it's extremely powerful."

"We needed a real-time event streaming architecture to improve the time to market for new apps and reduce the time it takes to stand up and build new clusters and transform a couple of key use cases. Confluent Platform is really helping us, enabling us to move the data in more flexible and reliable ways."

"We know that Confluent Platform and Apache Kafka will continue to help us scale."

“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.”

"Fans care about what seats are still available, how much do they cost, and what packages they can get with the tickets. And the venue wants to know who’s buying the tickets, are we having problems converting people, do we need to change the offering, or do we need to put another tour date on the calendar because this one is super popular. These are all different ways of looking at the same data. So we put all of this into an inventory stream which gets placed in a different data store for the various uses of that data. Confluent and Kafka have allowed us to get to the position where it’s now fairly low-friction for the data science team to roll out new capabilities with our data."

“With Confluent, we’ve been able to optimize our in-house Kafka-support resources by ~50% and redeploy our engineering and development talent to creating innovative and value-added features for our customers instead. Additionally, engaging Confluent gave us the peace of mind that comes with minimizing downtime and knowing that our Kafka systems are in the hands of one of the industry’s leading data-in-motion experts.”

“When we're using services like Confluent for data delivery, we don't need to think about it. It just gets delivered.”

"As we continue to break key functionality out of our monolith, we are opening up new possibilities for application components to integrate with other components and third-party applications. This simply would not have been possible for us before the introduction of Confluent Platform."

"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 innovation as well as company growth in the public market."

”With Confluent, it was easier for the team to set up, configure, and scale to support the increasing volume and throughput of the source systems we’re generating. This allowed us to build more microservices that are processing and aggregating data to deliver fit-for-purpose topics.”

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

"Confluent sits at the very core of our entire platform and modern payments business, serving as the underlying data mesh for everything we do today and anything we may want to do in the future. Operating around real-time, trusted data streams fueled by the entire business means every team is equipped with the data they need to build rich, personalized experiences for our customers while maintaining the flexibility to easily change or evolve solutions as our business grows."

“We’re expecting to increase our bottom-line revenue growth via data infrastructure cost savings of 20 to 30 percent, and we expect to greatly reduce the complexity of our data infrastructure thanks to Confluent.”

"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."
