What is data streaming?
“Data streaming is the practice of treating information as a continuous flow of events rather than static batches. Instead of waiting for data to pile up before it’s processed, insights and actions can be triggered the moment new events occur. Apache Kafka® has become the standard technology that makes this possible.”
View in the company profileHow does data streaming work on Confluent?
“Confluent takes Kafka further, rearchitecting it for the cloud. Both Confluent Cloud and Confluent Platform provide high-performance, enterprise-ready data streaming capabilities—built to scale seamlessly, reduce operations overhead, and deliver faster results. Confluent Cloud is powered by Kora, our cloud-native engine that provides autoscaling and 20-90%+ throughput savings.”
View in the company profileHow is data streaming different from traditional APIs?
“Traditional APIs follow a request-response model, where apps must ask for data to receive it. Data streaming flips the model: producers continuously publish events to a central log, and consumers subscribe to whatever streams they need in real time. This event-driven approach enables more scalable, decoupled architectures.”
View in the company profileWhat use cases does Confluent enable?
“Confluent enables a wide range of industry-agnostic data streaming use cases, including: Real-time analytics and dashboards to make faster, data-driven decisions. Event-driven applications that react instantly to business events.”
