AWS Data Lake / Lake House + Confluent Cloud for Serverless Apache Kafka. Learn about use cases, architectures, and features. Data must be continuously collected, processed, and reactively used in applications across the entire enterprise - some in real time, some in batch mode. In other words: As an enterprise becomes increasingly software-defined, it needs a data platform designed primarily for "data in motion" rather than "data at rest." Apache Kafka is now mainstream when it comes to data in motion! The Kafka API has become the de facto standard for event-driven architectures and event streaming. Unfortunately, the cost of running it yourself is very often too expensive when you add factors like scaling, administration, support, security, creating connectors...and everything else that goes with it. Resources in enterprises are scarce: this applies to both the best team members and the budget. The cloud - as we all know - offers the perfect solution to such challenges. Most likely, fully-managed cloud services such as AWS S3, DynamoDB or Redshift are already in use. Now it is time to implement "fully-managed" for Kafka as well - with Confluent Cloud on AWS. Building a central integration layer that doesn't care where or how much data is coming from. Implementing scalable data stream processing to gain real-time insights Leveraging fully managed connectors (like S3, Redshift, Kinesis, MongoDB Atlas & more) to quickly access data Confluent Cloud in action?
