About Confluent

Confluent specializes in data streaming solutions, focusing on helping businesses manage and process real-time data streams.

Clients, including large enterprises and financial institutions, utilize Confluent's tools to collect, process, and analyze data streams, which helps them make quicker and more informed decisions.

Confluent's goal is to be a leader in the data streaming market, enabling organizations to leverage real-time data for improved operational efficiency.
