Overview
Confluent is a cloud-native, data streaming platform that enables you to stream, connect, process, and govern all of your data, allowing you to streamline AI workloads and accelerate data-driven decisions.
Confluent has re-architected Apache Kafka for AWS, offering a fully managed, elastic, and globally available service that seamlessly connects with AWS services, security, management, and billing, while allowing you to cost-effectively retain data at any scale with Infinite Storage. With Kora, the cloud-native Kafka engine, you can achieve 10x better performance at 60% lower cost, along with unmatched scalability and reliability.
Our serverless Apache Flink service, lets you easily leverage stream processing to filter, join, aggregate, and enrich your streams in real-time before sharing the data broadly to downstream systems and applications.
We make it easy for you to connect and migrate on-premises, multi-cloud, and edge data to AWS. With 120+ pre-built connectors, you can build real-time streaming pipelines with just a few clicks to Amazon S3, Amazon Redshift, Amazon Kinesis, Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS), Amazon DynamoDB, and more. Also, deeper integrations with our Connect with Confluent (CwC) partners, such as AWS Lambda, can be found directly within the AWS console, making it easier for their customers to use data streams.

All that said, I think the place where Confluent shined the most was with regards to the contacts with whom we worked throughout our process. They proactively reached out to us to provide helpful resources/articles/videos, and got on calls with us to discuss implementation solutions and to better understand our needs. There was no pressure for us to sign a contract or move forward with any sales process. Their goal was purely to make themselves available to us so we could build the best possible solution and follow best practices and design standards around the Kafka ecosystem.
Confluent Cloud also offers a lot of wonderful out-of-the-box connectors to systems like SQS, Lambda, etc. It saves you from writing a lot of boilerplate code.
Also, I was struggling to understand how multiple message producers could write messages with optimistic concurrency, a la EventStoreDb.
Some benefits I realized from Kafka/Confluent Cloud specifically are the power of KSQL, which essentially serves as an abstraction from a lot of the producer/consumer code you'd otherwise have to write in your application logic. It's incredibly powerful,and is drastically simpler to write than lambda/worker logic that you'd otherwise need to create.
