“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.”
"Confluent enables us to see our data in motion, which was simply impossible with our existing systems... Much like the weather radar that shows how your situation has changed by the minute, seeing our data in motion with Confluent has enabled us to tackle long-standing business challenges, lower costs, and deliver improved customer experiences."
"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."
"Our internal platform is totally based on Kafka communication between all the pillars, so it’s like a nervous system for us."
"We work with Confluent because it is extremely valuable to have access to experts who know the most about Apache Kafka. It’s that feeling of security that has paid off for us."
"With Confluent and Apache Kafka, we have quick access to the varying types of data allows us to move faster as a development team and allows us to respond more quickly to our users."
"One of the main benefits Confluent Cloud has provided is being able to make the changes we want to make quickly and easily by creating a more seamless backend experience."
"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."
"Confluent Cloud has become a vital service for us—the 100% availability and uptime have significantly benefited both our organization and our valued customers."
”The visual representation of data sources and topics with Stream Lineage is very helpful because a lot of time, the idea of streaming is new and this makes it possible to have discussions about where data is coming from and how it’s moving. I can’t stress enough how nice it is to have it be stable, always work, and always be there.”
"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."
"We know that Confluent Platform and Apache Kafka will continue to help us scale."
“We shouldn’t care where the data sits. We should be able to share and move data seamlessly between environments. Streaming is the key. Otherwise you’re copying and shipping data and it’s a moment in time. And our strategy based on what we’re doing with Confluent Kafka is saying ‘the moment is now."
"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."
