Frequently Asked Questions

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.

How 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.

What is a data streaming platform?

A data streaming platform enables organizations to stream data continuously in real time, connect systems across environments, process events as they happen, and govern data for reliability and compliance. It provides the foundation to power analytics, AI, and event-driven applications, all while ensuring trusted, scalable, and secure data flows across the business.
