"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.”
"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."
"With the ability to combine real-time results with historical events, Confluent is leading the charge in helping enterprises discover new services and modernize existing ones with the power of event streaming."
"Kafka technology, combined with Confluent's enterprise features and high-performance Intel architecture, support our mission to make it safe for Intel to go fast."
"In terms of hard costs, Confluent reduced our bottom line from the infrastructure cost perspective, reducing licensing and physical hardware. We reduced our projected yearly cost by 69%. And the months of planning we would have to put into meetings and seasonal projections are gone, so our management oversight is reduced from a soft-cost perspective."
"By capturing events all along the food value chain, processing those events in Confluent Cloud and sharing insights with interested parties throughout the chain, we are not only increasing the value we provide but also making food production as a whole more intelligent and efficient."
"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."
"We know that Confluent Platform and Apache Kafka will continue to help us scale."
“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.”
"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."
"We knew we needed to rethink how we processed our data. With Confluent, we’ve got a usage-based data streaming platform where we can develop features, expand into new markets, and create seamless customer experiences based on real-time data."
“We can reflect station configuration changes in less than a second. It gives our customers peace of mind, and real-time data eliminates any guesswork.”
“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.”
