across cloud providers
● Patches deployed in Confluent
Cloud before Apache Kafka
Infinite Storage
● Store data cost-
effectively at any scale
without growing
compute
DevOps Automation
● API-driven and/or
point-and-click ops
● Service portability &
consistency across cloud
providers and on-prem
Network
Flexibility
● Public, VPC, and
Private Link
● Self-managed option
for air-gapped
environments
Elastic: Instantly scale to meet any demand
Seamlessly provision and deploy fully managed, elastically
scaling clusters with infinite storage that expand & shrink to
cost-effectively support all streaming use cases
Reliable: Power streaming apps & analytics with resilience
Maintain high availability of your clusters and data streams
with our 99.99% uptime SLA, multi-AZ / region clusters, and
no-touch Kafka patches & upgrades
Agile: Focus on innovation, not infrastructure
Fully automate management of serverless clusters through
code via Terraform integration and REST APIs, paying only for

“Before Confluent, when we had broker outages that
required rebuilds, it could take up to three days of
developer time to resolve. Now, Confluent takes care
of everything for us, so our developers can focus on
building new features and applications.”

"Offloading that day-to-day
burden of operations has
been a huge help. A lot of
overall operations-type
work gets offloaded when
you move to Confluent
Cloud… Where we’re saving
time now is on the DevOps
side of maintenance of all
those systems — patching
underlying systems or
upgrading (them) — those
were big things to be able to
offload.”
Confluent offers the only Fully Managed
Kafka Service…
Fully Managed SaaS delivers a cloud-native, serverless experience
